INSTRUCTION IN SOUTHERN ITALY.

(From the 7imes Correspondent.)
UtslN, April 9.
Those who might feel inclined to despair of the
future welfare of the Southern Italian Provinces,
where brigandage is raging fiercely, and where the
lack of public security seriously threatens the whole
social system with utter disorganisation, s,.ould
take into consideration the following facts, consis-
luting the bright side of a picture which otherwise,
it must be avowed, presents itself under tolerably
gloomy views.

Before the end of 1861—that is, in the course of
little morn than a year-1,054 elementary boys'
schools were established iu the ex-kingdom of
Naples, exclusive of the Central Province of Naples
itself. These were frequented by 23.569 pupils.
The clement y girls
1 schools founded during the
same period of time
were 778. with 18,912 pupils.
To..these must be added 18 evening schools, fee.
quented by 911 persons.
In 1862 the 1,054 boys' schools rose to the number
of 1,6 9; the pupils, instead of '23,569,
_
778,bec but.ame
60 250. Tne girls' schools were no.
222; the pupils, not 11,912 hut 30067. long.
'roe even-
lug schools irereased from 18 to 234, their frequen
ters from 911 to 9 8(4.
That all these schools are equally beneficial, that
they are all conducted after the very best methods,.
thtot they, in the present condition of It4ly, can all,
or even most of them, be provided with good mssaters or mistresses, and all of them will be equally long lived and numerously ft.( quented, no man will
undertake to assert; but they ore us
rn.,ny grains
the ground nevertheless.
The harvest will n
of good heed strewn on, if not thoroughly
sown
nicast as:3ur, dly, spring up immediately ; human ion:.
inn de-
pravity will, to ascertain extent, resist all civilising
and for ever; it will partly be
influences for a tme
utterly incorrigible, no doubt; but that education
Which has done and is doing such wonders in
Northern and Central Italy,no less than in all other
I:aropean communities, should be altogether barren
of results in the Southern provinces will not be
e~easily believed. Two years liberal governtnent have
Elehieved for the Neapolitars what half a century
01' despotism would not even attempt. Let thost

ANGTHER AGRARIAN MURDER IN IRELAND.
DUBLIN, April 11 —We have just had a telegraphic
message from Lordonderry, announcing an agrarian murder
iu the country of Donegal. The victim, Adam Grierson,
was formerly land steward or agent Adair, who
evicted a large number of persons some time ago, in conse-
quence of the prevalence of agrarian outrages on his estate
producing a reign of terror among the p-ople, and inflicting
serious losses upon the tenants by the destruction of their
sheep and other property. Since that time the district has
been quiet. The pressnt outrage occurred at Glenveagh,
from which place a message came to thetatterkenny con-
stabulary early this morning. Grierson badly wounded,
and there is no hope of his recovery. But, though in
-lying state, he was able to identify a mad named Buckley
whom ,hg cos s abulary had arrested on suspicion, as the
person who fired at him. It is said that he had received
repeated warnings of his fate, in consequence of his alleged
over-zeal in the discharge of his duties to his employer,
