.NITRO-OLYCERINE.

By telegram from Stockholm, says the Chemical
Irs, we learn that NOBEL'S nitro-glycerine
manufactory was blown up on the afternoon of
the 10th inst. Fifteen persons were killed and
several severely injured, while great destruction
was caused in the neighbourhood of the works.
The same journal reprints the report of a board
appointed to inquire into the origin and causes of
an explosion of nitro-glycerine at Sydney, on the
4th of March, the conclusion arrived at being
that the cause lay within the oil itself—in other
words, that it exploded spontaneously. There is
reason to suspect that an explosion of nitro-
glycerine which occurred last November in West-
phalia was spontaneous, or without external
agency. The explosions of nitro-glycerine which
destroyed the European at Colon, caused con-
siderable damage some two years ago at the
Wyoming Hotel, New York, and, in December
last, produced such disastrous results at New-
castle, were also stated, though not proved, to
originate in spontaneous combustion. Be the
cause what it may, it is quite certain that nitro-
glycerine gives rise to accidents whose number is
above all excusable proportion to the extent to which
this agent is employed. We should be sorry to
hope, with the Sydney experts, that these acci-
dents will have the effect of altogether stopping
importations ; for the value of this liquid as a
blasting agent is considerable, enabling, as it does,
the hardest rocks to be tunnelled with greater
rapidity, and stone and slate to be quarried more
easily and cheaply, than by gunpowder. But it
is not too much to expect that before the
manufacture is recommenced some steps will be
taken to discover means whereby nitro-glycerine
shall be effectually prevented from prematurely
exploding. We already know that its solution in
spirit is inexplosivo, and that the spirit can be
easily removed when necessary, leaving the nitro-
glycerine in an unaltered condition—indeed the
makers profess to sell only this diluted article ; but
there is reason to believe that the amount of spirit
employed is insufficient for complete protection ;
added to which there is this objection to spirit—
that it rapidly evaporate, whenever leakage, die.,
occurs, the nitro-glycerine itself being loft behind
as explosive as ever.

WREN Sir THowas Mons's life was in danger
he objected to have his hair cut till it was de-
cided whether the Knee would have his head or
not. We know the result in that case. At
present there is a dispute between General
BENARD, the Belgian Minister of War,
and M. BABA, the Belgian Minister of
Justice, not, indeed, about the decapitation of one
of their own heads, but about the execution of a
sergeant named FLEBON. This person has
been condemned both by the military and
civil tribunals for the assassination of Captain
WEREHOPP, but M. BABA, who is strongly op-
posed to the penalty of death, will not present

MR. GLADSTONE OR MR. DISRAELI.

THE issue which the country will have to decide
at the coming election is in part one of principles;
but those principles are embodied in persons. It
will have to choose between Mr. GLADSTONE and
Mr. DISRAELI. These two statesmen are the re-
presentative men of contemporary English poli-
tics. With many points of difference, they have a
few points in common. They represent, perhaps,
in an equal degree, the ascendancy of intellectual
force in the House of Commons. It is creditable
to that amenibly, and to the country, that its two
ablest men are its two foremost men. Each party
is repreaented by its last mind. The brains are
where, politically, they sometimes are not—
in the head. The day of arch-medi-
ocrities is over. The democracy of society
Las preceded the democracy of government.
In the equal strife of Parliamentary life,
the victory is to the swift, and the battle
to the strong. The moral qualities which have
given their character and supplied momentum to

IHE IRISH NOBILITY AID THI ROYAL VISIT.-
The special correspondent of the Three, demonising the
entry of the Prince and Princess of Wales into Dublin,
says :—" The most striking feature in the procession was,
however, a void. There was a pp between the people in
the Winds and the bourgeoisie and the gantry in the win-
dows—a gap between them and the Pr nce. When were
the nobility of Ireland Where were the great leaded
proprietors . They were conspicuous by their abeence, to
use again a phrase which is at least expressive. Irish
official life was represented, of course. The Earl of
Shrewsbury was there, but without any of the state of
the Telbots, nor, indeed, could it be expected that an
liah
earl, bound thonsit he were by titular teak
and cadent honours and aid associations with Ireland,
would transport horse. and cordage. and an establishment
for a transitory visit in the performance of a function.
The Duke of Manchester came over, in spite of • domestic
atiolioa, to assist at the ceremonial. Lord limes
was also present, and some two or three others ;
bet, unless sight and bearing were wonderfully wanting,
the ably Irish peer who was there as a peer par et
simple was Lord Howth. Where were the 'nights of Et.
Patrick ? Where was the one duke, and where were the many
marquises, earls, viesonnta, sad barons? It easent be
said they keep no state, for Hyde-park and Rotten-row
would confute the assertion. Perhaps the aotice wee too
abort. That plea will not hold good if there be another
t=aksor cortigewhilethe Prince and Princess are here.
would be said of Seettish peers if, on the ocam-
siest'of a state visit to Edinburgh by the heir apparent
and his princess, there was no carriage of a
Scottish nobleman to intervene between the state pagean-
try and the chariots of civic officialism The Matt nobility
expose themselves to invidious comparisons by careless-
's.' of demonstration on such an occasion ; and this is
not the time when they can afford to stand aloof frm the
body of the nation to which they belong. Any one who
beheld the great ovation of to-day might have well fancied
it was the tribute paid by the people of a peer
to some popular favourite whom the chief
delighted to honour."

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THCIRODAT Mart
To-day the Prince and Princes@ of Wales wit-
nessed the steepleellase at Puncheirtown. Their
royal highnesses drove from the Castle to the sta-
tion of the Southern and Western Railway, and
proceeded thence by a special train to Selling,
where the oarriagenwere in waiting to convey them
to the coarse. They were accompaniedby the Duke
of Cambridge, Prince Teck, and the Marquis and
Marchioness of Aberoorn, and the members of the
several suites. The streets through which the
oortdge peened to the stltion were pretty well filled,
and their royal highnesses were warmly cheered.
The special train left Dublin about half-pest twelve
o'clock, and reached Saline about one. On the road
to the mares their royal highnesses stepped at
Naas, and received an aidrees from the town

The attendance of spectators at Punchestown
was enormous, and the reception which they gave to
the Prince and Princess wee moat cordial and hearty.
Throughout the afternoon crowds collected in front
of the royal stand, and every• movement of the
illuetrious viailew yes weeeked with the keenest
interest. Their iroyal highnesses left the course
soon after 5 o'clock, and arrived in Dublin about
half-past 6. Numbers of people were awaiting
their arrival near the station, and in the streets
through which they had to peas to the Castle, and
the cheering as they drove along was as hearty and
general as in the morning. Some of the illumina-
tions are lighted to-night, and the streets are
thronged with people. The weather throughout
the day has been most beautiful—more like summer
than spring ; and the visit to Punchestown has
proved as completely satisfactory as was the entry
into Dublin yesterday.

DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE IN THE
MAURITIUS.

A telegram from Marseilles, dated yesterday,
says :—The Messageries Impdriales steamer Raid
has arrived with the mails from the Mauritius and
Reunion Island. Accounts from the former place
of March 17 state that the cyclone of the 11th and
12th did considerable damage. The sugar crop to
the extent of one-fifth had been devastated—the
loss would, however, be diminished should rain
come on ; 20,000 bales of rice were destroyed,
either by warehouses being blown down, or by ships
being driven ashore ; one-half of the factories
were unroofed ; hundreds of houses were thrown
to the ground; 56 vessels were in the ports, and
almost all were driven ashore, and more than the
half of them were dismasted. Amongst the French
ships which suffered were the Adelina, which will
be abandoned, Le Gauge, Jaques Seurin, Prefet de
Mentque, Saint Anne, and Saint Joseph. From
Reunion Island the advises are to the 18th. The
cyclone paned between St. Benoit and St. Pierre.
No disaster occurred at sea, but on land great mis-
chief was done ; four-fifths of the green maize was
destroyed ; the crop of coffee was greatly damaged ;
the sugar canes suffered less, but one-third of the
crop is lost, and some manufactories were thrown
down. The population of the island is in a state of

Last night two ladies appealed to the public
at two different theatres in the same character ; Miss
Herbert taking her benefit at the St. James's, and play-
ing Lady Teazle, and Miss Rushton representing Lady
Teazle in two scenes at the Princess's, in • composite
entertainment for the benefit of Mr. Smalls. The merits of
Min Herbert's Lady Teazle are well known, and in
noticing the performance it is sufficient to say that it closed
?Liss Herbert's lesseeship of the St. James'. Theatre. Miss
Ruahton is not so well known, as it is four or five years
since she made her appearance at the Haymarket, and
during her absence from London she has been very profit-
ably employed in a most successful engagement in America
and Canada. Min Rushton has a fine presence, agreeable
comedy manners, and a musical voice, znd is evidently
familiar with the traditions of Lady Teazle. She was very
well received by a crowded audience, and called on at the
end at her scam.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before the desieteabJadge.)

Robert Rena, 37, a eoffeehonsekeeper: was indicted for
dealing 110/., the moneys of Frances Frederick Fielder.
Mr. Collins prosecuted ; Mr. Daly defended the prisoner,
instructed by 'Mr. Ricketts.
The evidence in this case has already appeared on the
various examinatiorr of the prisoner at the Clerkenwell
Police-oourt.
Mr. Daly addreseed the jury for the prisoner, but they
immediately found him Guilty.
Sergeant M•Math said he had known the prisoner be-
tween six and seven years, and during that time he bad
been four times in custody for 'limit w offences, and be had
been tried at the Old Bailey, but he was never convicted
as the prosecutors did not appear or the evidence was in-
sufficient. A number of letters had been received from
persons who bad been robbed in has house, and one foreign
gentleman attended last week when his trial was expected
to have taken place, and he could have stated that he was
robbed and almost poisoned in his house. There had been
numerous complaints against this house from soldiers and
sailors, and on searching hie place a great quantity of sol-
diers' and sailors' clothing was found, and several bags and
boxes that had been broken open. There were complaints
from persona that they had been drugged in the house.
The Assistant-Judge said it hay required this evi-
dence to justify the sentence the court was about to pro-
nounce, which was that the prisoner be kept in penal
servitude for five years.
The prisoner left the bar protesting his innocence.

Expnr.s7., MONDAY

Lem,. In an 0341“.4 we submit that it is in-
-1121i1:11:t en the puha: hor to state, in Van advor-
i?.‘ na nt on the title-page, that they
are a reprint, and in what untgasinui
thy have appeared. But the truth is,
this ix what few publishers care to do;
and indeed the contrary habit is so common that
authors who do not write for periodicals will be
forced, in self-defence, on the publication of a
volume to insert a dame to the effect that it is
wholly new.
Another trade device calculated to mislead some
renders is the announcement so frequently made
that a book is " now ready " or " this day pub-
lished," when in truth, if not purchased, it has
been purchaneable for weeks or even months.
And this reminds us of yet another habit among
publishers which is so far objectionable that, in
the years to come, it may deceive bilioNraphers.
Books brought out in the months of November
and December are generally ante-dated, so that it
is impossible to say, after some limo ha;
elapsed, to what year they owe their parentage.
It may be said that these prelims are trifling,
and perhaps with more truth that they affect a
et.teparativoly small body of readers. We answer
that if trifling, it is all the greater reason why
they should be given up. No practice that tends
to mislead, and that does avowedly misload a few,
can be worthy of retention by gentlemen occupy-
ing the honourable position of London pub-
lishers.
