We glean the following further particulars on the
late explosion at Turin from the papers of the 30th
ult. The number of wounded taken to the nearest
hospital amounts to fifty, including ten children and
fifteen women ; among the men, who are mostly
soldiers, there is also a priest. The greater part
are doing well. On the 29th the persons killed were
interred with great solemnity ; the Duke of GENOA
followed the hearses on foot, together with General
MAFFEI, Commandant of the National Guard, the
Syndic of Turin, and a deputatiom from the muni-
cipality. The corps of artillery brought up the
' rear. The following fact is related as a prcof of the
coolness and discipline of the Piedmontese troops.
During the detonations the company of the brigade
Savona, on duty at the powder manufactory, was seen
under arms, in rank and file, waiting for orders,
while fragments of every description were falling
about, wounding several of them. An act of unfeel-
ing selfishness is recorded against the innkeeper of
the Great Mogul, who refused to receive eight per-
sons deprived of their homes by the explosion, and
sent there by the delegates of the municipality. For
this conduct, during a public calamity, the council
has deprived the innkeeper of his licence for a week.
Fortunately, at the time of the explosion there
were but very few people in the adjoining houses;
and, more fortunately still, this great mine,
instead of taking its impetus in the direc-
tion of the houses, exploded exactly in the con-
trary direction, so that the smallest possible mis-
chief has occurred compatible with the magnitude of
the disaster. Its greatest might was expended upon
a large meadow, which it ploughed in every direc-
tion, rooting up the few trees that were upon it. The
church of St. Peter's suffered greatly, and even the
houses which were not in the direction of the explo-
sion, were much damaged by the shock. On call-
ing over the muster-roll of the artillerymen em-
ployed in the manufactory, twenty-nine men were
found absent.

A public subscription has been set on foot for the
relief of the sufferers, and large sums have already
been realised. A commission has been appointed to
distribute relief, and forty families have already been
relieved by its exertions.
We learn from Cagliari that the royal Sardinian
steamer Ichnusa returned on the 22d ult., laden with
wool, from her first trip to Tunis, since the establish-
ment of that line. The Bey of Torus received the
captain very graciously, expressed his satisfaction at
seeing this new means of communication fairly com-
menced, and presented him with a decoration in dia-
monds. The merchants of the city invited him to a
splendid banquet.
The Giornale di Roma gives an account of the
sitting of the 15th ult. of the Roman Academy of
Archmology, in which Professor Omni read a dis-
sertation on the true origin of Rome, in which he
laboured to prove that Rome is much more ancient
than the legend of RomuLus would make it, and that
at the time of the war with the Sabines the Etruscans
exercised a right of supremacy and paramount au-
thority over the City of the Seven Hills.
The Piedmontese Gazette contradicts the report
given by a Paris journal, that the Marquis SPINOLA
had been charged by the Sardinian Government to
make fresh propositions to the Holy See relative to
the negotiations which had been opened between the
two Governments.

ARNOT AND ANOTHER V. BROWN AND ANOTHER
HOGS AND ANOTHER V. BROWN AND ANOTHER.

These two appeals, which being identical in nature,
were, by common consent, heard together, were from
ten interlocutors of the first division of the Court of
Session of Scotland.
It appeared that the respondents were the proprietors
of certain premises in Edinburgh, situsted near Holy-
rood Palace, which premises they designed to turn into
a candle manufactory. As soon as their intention be-
came known notices were served on them by the ep-
ppllant, who are inhabitants of the neighbourhood,
and on application being made to the Bill
Chamber, an interim interdict was granted to restrain
the respondents. Against this appeal was made to the
Court of S saion, which pronounced several interlocu-
tors, allowing
experiments to be made to prove the as-
sertion of the respondents that they would carry on their
without
to th
creating r eati nge any nuisance. This having
satisfaction of the Court, a
business
been demonstrated
final interlocutor was pronounced dissolving the inter-
' Kith costs against the appellants. Againsktlais ap-
peal was now made.
Mr. Rolt and Mr. Anderson appeared for the appel-
lants, and Mr. Bothell and Mr. Patterson for the re-
spondents.
