INSURRECTION IN PIEDMONT.

The following, intelligence was received yester-
day by express:—
BULLET! N.

l'Ams, March 15.—1 t has been impoisible fur the
Government longer to conceal the events at Turin,
of which it received information by a telegraphic
dispatch.

It was on the 10th that the garrison of Alexan-
dria, 10,000 strong, proclaimed the Spanish Con-
stitution. At this news the King of Sardinia
wished to march the troops that were at Turin, but
they refused, crying, " The Constitution of the
Cortes fin. ever!" The Prince of Carignan and the
General Giflanger were sent to Alexandria, but on
their arrival there cried, " The Constitution of the
Cortes for ever!" and placed themselves at the head
of the movement. In this crisis the King of Sardi-
nia thought to caltn the ferment by offering to grant
the French charter, but it has been refused. All
the garrisons in Piedmont have fidlowvd the example
of that of Alexandria. We have certain in limitation
that the Prince of Carignan and Gen Giflenga, at
the head of 25,0001, have marched for Milan, and
it. is believed that they would enter that city this
day, 15th March.
The cry of the Piedmontese troops is not only that
of " Viva la Constitution I" but also that of" Death
to the Austrians 4"
It is not doubted that Genoa is constitutional at
this moment, and that all Italy will be so in less
than ten days
The news of these events has produced the great.
est sensations at Paris; the Ultras are in the most
complete despondency. All eyes are turned to-
wards Dauphene, and towards Lyons.
The movement at Turin was calculated to break
out on the 15th, and not before, but the arrests
hastened it by five days.

ST. GILES'S 1111.111 FItEE SCllool.ll.—Saturday being St.
Patrick's Day, the children of the St. Giles's Dish Free Schools
in George Street made a most respectable appearance; they were
conducted from the school house by Air. Finigan, the superin-
tendent, to the houses of some of their principal benefactors,
where, by hearty cheers, they expressed their thankfulness and
gratitude. About twelve o'clock they were publicly examined in
the school home, in the presence of a number of distinguished
ladies and gentlemen, patrons to the institution, who expressed
the utmost stitistdction at their clean, healthy appearance and
improvement ; indeed it was truly pleasing to see the young
Hibernian. vitting one with the other in the repetition of select
portions of the Holy Scripture:, such as on the ail of lying,
swearing, stealing, and their ditty to God, to the King, to Magis
mites, and their neighbours: Their proficiency, not only in
spelling and reading, but also in arithmetic, exceeded our most
sanguine expectations. At two o'clock they all sat down to a
plentiful dinner, aril enjoyed the returning sweets of another
St. Patrick's Day. We are sorry to find. on inquiry, that the
funds of this praiseworthy institution are not in so flout is:ling a
condition as the laudt.ble design demands. and we therefore most
earnestly recommend its further support to the humane c,e
detation of a generous public.—ln the evening a numerous
assemblage of noblemen and gentlemen sat down to an excellent
dinner et the City of London 'tavern ; the Doke of Wellington
in the chair. The children were introduced otter dinner, a larg.•
collection was made, and till a late hour pleas.rtet, life, and
conviviality, were the ' genets' order."
As some men were digging pact week• in a field
adjoining the Edgeware-road, a short distance limn
Kilburn. they discovered, about It) feet below the
surface of the growth ,a large stone coffin, containing
two skeletons—onc of considerable dimensions, the

other apparently the skeleton of a child. Also were
found near the same place, scv&el ancient coins;
one or two of the reign of Henry VIII. which retn.
den it very probable that the 'mains were deposited
About that period. On the same spot there formerly
stood a nunutry of the Benedictine order, founded by
Herbert, Abbot of Westminster, in the reign of
Henry I. and demolished in the fifteenth century._

On Saturday morning a little &Are one o'clock,
a fire broke ont ;n.t.it. John's-street, Clerkenwell.—
It raged violently till the engines arrived, when it
was speedily extinguished by the activity of tilc fire-
men, after having de•ttoyed the hoLse in which it
originated, and &Imaged the lower rart of ore of
the houses next deer.
