TERRIBLE DISASTER AT TURIN.
The following brief account of a terrible and de-
structive explosion at the Sardinian capital, one quar-
ter of which city is stated to have been injured, was
hurriedly written upon the margin of the Opinione
of Turin, of April 26, immediately before the de-
pacure of the mails on the afternoon of that day, and
which arrived in London by this morning's post. The
literal translation of the hasty but apparently truth-
ful communication, which it may be observed is
received through perfectly reliable sources, is as
follows :

OUB. EXISTENCE.--T he mean
general duration of
human life is between 38 and 42 years ; the natural limit
from 80 to 90. Of all new-born infants, 1 out of 4 dies the
first year, two-fifths scarcely attain the sixth year, and be-
fore the twenty-second year it is reckoned that one-half of
the generation are consigned to the grave. The number of
males in a given number of births exceeds that of females
in the ratio of 16 to 15, but the mortality
among male children
is at the ratio of 27 to 26.
