LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1865.

Last week we gladly and eagerly transferred to
our columns from those of our leading contem-
porary the remarkable programme of a very noble
and beautiful enterprise. To-day we seize the ear-
liest opportunity we have found for referring to it.
And we do so with peculiar satisfaction, in this Age—
as we may, surely, with only too much reason, term
it---of daring and, to our thinking at least, detes
table Iconoclasm. An age in which, so to speak,
not Simply the effigies or presentments of great
truths, hitherto held in believing reverence, but
those very truths themselves are being so very con-
stantly and Pertinaciously assailed with a view to
their abasement, to their mutilation, even,. it would
seem, if possible, to their total and absolute detruc-
tion. It is something,
surely, in these days of M.
RENAN and other kindred writers, to note precisely
such an enterprise as that to which we are here
desirous of directing attention. A scientific en-
terprise, undertaken in no invidious spirit, with
no insidious arriere pense'e, but with a view to the
furthering systematically of researches, hitherto
adventured- upon quite casually and intermit-
tentally, by private individuals—mere chance
travellers—now in one part, now in another, of
the Holy Land ! The marvel is that a Society,
precisely of the character thus projected should
never before have been thought of—a Society, that
is to say, organised expressly and avowedly with a
view to the Exploration of Palestine, with a view
to the more accurate illustration and we might
almost say elucidation of Holy Writ, archmologi-
callY, topographically, geologically, botanically,
zoologically, meteorologically, and otherwise. An
association, we 'would here add—so far as we can

FOURTH AND LAST ROUND.

This round of shell was drawn from the guns,
owing to the discovery that a portion of the Arm-
strong shot of the previous round, weighing about
601 b., had dropped near a cottage 500 yards off,
burying itself four feet in the ground. Had it been
possible to remove a bed-ridden female from the
cottage the firing would have proceeded, but Colonel
Wilmot, the commandant, .declined the responsi-
bility of risking the woman's life. The terrific
showers of splinters from inclined or sloping targets
will be a new and unanswerable argument in favour
of ships with inclined turrets.
Mr. Whitworth's party included Lord Torring-
ton, Mr. Macdonald, and Rear-Admiral Halsted.
Sir William Armstrong was alone.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT WIGAN.—On Monday
afternoon a steam boiler used at Barleyhurst Colliery, near
Wigan, exploded, scattering the building round about it
into fragments, killing the engineman, blowing his body a
distance of 160 yards, and wounclin g several men, none of
whose hurts are, however, serious. The colliery is served
by three boilers, and it is not a little remarkable that one
of them exploded about a fortnight since, inflicting great
damage on the surrounding property, and injuring several
people. In the second instance, the accident is attributed
to the carelessness of the unfortunate engineman who has
lost his We.—Mantiester Examiner.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 27.

Herr von Bismarck was present to-day at the
sitting of the committee appointed to examine the
Bill for the increase of the Prussian navy. The
Minister expressed the hope that the Government
would succeed in obtaining the port of Kiel for
Prussia, and, under certain conditions, for the
German navy. The latter will grow out of the
Prussian fleet by developing the maritime resources
of the other States of Northern Germany.
Herr von Bismarck further said that he
wished, in the interest of the country, that
the Prussian Diet would declare that the
acquisition of Kiel was necessary. The acquisition
of this harbour was intended by the Government,
but on the basis of a common understanding. The
tract of land situated between Holtenar and Fried-
richsort and the opposite villages were also required
by the Government. He declined to state whether,
under certain emergencies, the realisation of this
scheme, so far as Foreign Powers were concerned,
would be effected by force.

the electoral law of 1848, and it is therefore sup-
posed that the electoral of 1850 will be the basis
of the election.

addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between
8,000 and 4,000 weekly.

FOURTH AND LAST ROUND.

This round of shell was drawn from the guns,
owing to the discovery that a portion. of the Arm-
strong shot of the previous round, weighing about
601 b., had dropped near a cottage 500 yards off,
burying itself four feet in the ground. Had it been
possible to remove a bed-ridden female from the
cottage the firing would have proceeded, but Colonel
Wilmot, the commandant, declined the responsi-
bility of risking the woman's life. The terrific
showers of splinters from inclined or sloping targets
will be a new and unanswerable argument in favour
of ships with inclined turrets.

Mr. Whitworth's party included Lord Torring-
ton, Mr. Macdonald, and Rear-Admiral Halsted.
Sir William Armstrong was alone.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT WIGAN.—On Monday
afternoon a steam boiler used at Barleyhurst Colliery, near
Wigan, exploded, scattering the building round about it
into fragments, killing the engineman, blowing his body a
distance of 160 yards, and wounding several men, none of
whose hurts are, however, serious.. The colliery is served
by three boilers, and it is not a little remarkable that one
of them exploded about a fortnight since, inflicting great
damage on the surrounding property, and injuring several
people. In the second instance, the accident is attributed
to the carelessness of the unfortunate engineman who has
lot his lifo.--Manchester Examiner.

Letters received here from Bokhara state that
the Emir is preparing an expedition to assist the
Khan of Kokan against the Russians.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, APRIL 27.

Herr von Bismarck was present to-day at the
sitting of the committee appointed to examine the
Bill for the increase of the Prussian navy. The
Minister expressed the hope that the Government
would succeed in obtaining the port of Kiel for
Prussia, and, under certain conditions, for the
German navy. The latter will grow out of the
Prussian fleet by developing the maritime resources
of the other States of Northern Germany.
Herr von Bismarck further said that he
wished, in the interest of the country, that
the Prussian Diet would declare that the
acquisition of Kiel was necessary. The acquisition
of this harbour was intended by the Government,
but on the basis of a common understanding. The
tract of land situated between Holtenar and Fried-
richsort and the opposite villages were also required
by the Government. He declined to state whether,

under certain emergencies, the realisation .of this
scheme, so far as Foreign Powers were concerned,
would be effected by force.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, APRIL 27.

Baron Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at the
Court of Vienna, read yesterday to Count Mens-
dorff, a note proposing the convocation of the Diet
of Schleswig Holstein. The note does not mention
that the elections are to take place on the basis of
the electoral law of 1848, and it is therefore sup-
posed that the electoral of 1850 will be the basis
of the election.

that the business of the company was steadily increasing,

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 11 per mill pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.175 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 105 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appeal' that gold is
rather mere than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.
