In its sitting of the 231, the Senate of Turin
passed the Bill for an electric telegraph connecting
Turin, Genoa Alessandria, Casale, Vercelli, and No-
vara, which Bill had already been adopted by the
Elective Chamber. The Bill on the modifications to
be introduced in the laws on the press, as far as re-
gards foreign potentates, was then takeninto conside-
ration. The Senators ROBERT D'AZAGLIO and AL-
BERTO DELLA MARMOBA both spoke against the ex-
treme liberty allowed to the press in Piedmont, and
called for further restrictions. M. DEFORESTA, Mi-
nister of Grace and Justice, defended the principle
of the liberty of the press, as did also the Senator
SELoris, who was Minister at the time the decree on
the press was iSSIIf

countersigned it. The discussion was adjourned to

orders to increase the accommodation for cavalry on
the Piazza d Armi, and also to erect more stables
outside the town. It has aho, the writer says, been

which, under certain circumstances, might be conve-

that the Archbishop of MILAN has refused to give up
the Church of St. Anthony to the Jesuits, and ex-
pressed some doubts to the Government as to the ex-
pediency of allowing that body to organize establish-
ments at Milan.

GLIMPSES OF POETRY.—. A,-..s
far
as truth and sim-
plicity are above lying and crookedness, so far is the wisdom
of the heart above the cunning of the world; and it is in
this wisdom of love that the poet is wise. It is to teach him
this that the magic land is opened to him • that even from
his childhood he is permitted to behold, to 'hear, to feel, and
to commune with shapes, sounds sensations—beings of an-
other creation, which are beyond the perception of the multi-
tude. The woods to hitu are eloquent, the streams speak a
sweet language, and appeal
to him as with a living voice.
We know from the collected experience, each of himself, of
many of his class, that the poet is such before school-time;
a poet in grain not in polish only, " Poeta nascitur, non fit."
From the time his intellect has passed its infancy, learned to
stand upright and walk; when it is loosed from the bands of
from the time when it first goes abroad, the child is uncon-
sciously devising poetry,

gathering from all he beholds, all
he is taught—frothwhatever impresses him, new and strange
meanings; tracing vaguely at first, more decisively as he
proceeds, the analogies of passing
things and circumstances
with his own being and his fate. A flower does not droop by
the wayside as be passes, nor a blossom fall, a bird or a
shadow does not flit, without yielding something with which

fancy may make its own more delightful play than that

THE REVIVAL OF THE ANTI-COEN-LAW LEAGUE.
—A meeting is to be held at Manchester on Tuesday, at which
Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Milner Gibson will be
present. The circular, which is signed by Mr. George NYE-
son, say :—" The accession of the Earl of Derby to office,
pledged to an attempt to restore the corn-law, is now a fact
beyond dispute. The question which the country and the
Parliament of 1846 decided is to be re-opened, and theiverdict
of the English

of gentlemen, in whom the friends of free-trade have hereto-
fore confided, to summon a meeting of all those who were
members of the council of the Anti-Corn-law League, and of

such steps as may be necessary to defeat the mad and wicked
attempt to reimpose a tax upon corn, and thus to limit the
