ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 31st ult., pub-
lishes another address to the king from the
bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Turin, in
which they complain of the increase of Protestant
proselytism throughout the Piedmontese States, of
the profanation of the days held sacred in the
Catholic Church, and the abuses in'troduced into
public instruction. The address says :
"In some cases the lectures are intended to pervert
the mind, in others to corrupt the heart ; the history of
natons has been used to calumniate the supreme Pon-
tiff, the Episcopacy, and the ministers of the Catholic
Church ; pology, natural history, and drawing have
been applied to insinuate pantheism, to insult modesty
and c..irrupt morals."
They conclude by stating that "the venerable
metropolitan" (the exiled Archbishop Franzoni),
" whose absence they still deplore" is undoubtedly
of the opinion of the framers of the address, and
pray the king to take their remonstrances into
consideration.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced au ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or :Igatures. They PO perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
54 not to be distinguished from the orginals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUS.

Sin,-,Your very clever correspondent's communica-
tion on the lance prompts me to throw out a few hints
on the present dress of our army. Is it not opposed to
the principles of common sense and reason to send a matt
into the field to endure the certain ai:n of the Minid
rifle in a coat of scarlet braided with white, the very
colours chosen, on scientific principles, for the use of
railway signals and bulls' oyes, an addition of 10 per cent.
on his liability to bo picked off over any other colour ?
I would suggest that future uniforms be made of some
mixture, Oxford grey, or a heather mixture, which shall
render them as indistinct as possible—the very contrary
of what they now are ; or if our national colour, red, is
to be kept to distinguish us from the Russian green,
French blue, &c., would not a deep rich crimson, desti-
tute of the white tape now spread over the breast of a
private's uniform, and the saving thereof invested in a
better quality of cloth, be much handsomer, and alto-
gether to the wearer more satisfactory, as he would be
conscious of not being quite such a pedestrian bull's eye
as he now is for the shot of his enemy I Let everything
in military matters be formed on the principle observed
in Christian art. Discover first what is requisite, and
then render it ornamental—not ornamental cot, struc-
tion, but construction ornamental. The French
mili-
tary cloak, with a hood instead of a cape, is a vast im-
provement over the same article supplied to our army.
It is absurd to suppose that everything supplied to our
army is on the most approved model. There are hints
to be gathered from the continental forces in little par-
ticulars which our Government would do well to take
under their judicious consideration.—l am, sir, yours
truly, A BRITISH OFFICER.

with other countries, a larger proportion of the whole
year's export of tea from China than would otherwise
have been sent here ; and thus far, besides the saving in
duty, acted upon the price in bond.
" The case is the same as to soap and as to other
articles. Parliament cannot guarantee to the country
that the prices in scarcity shall be the same as those
in abundance, or the prices in war the same as the
prices in peace. What may be justly expected of it
is, that it should not aggravate the evils of scarcity by
bad legislation, and that it should not allow itself to be
provoked or drawn into war except by the clear call
of duty. Has it discharged its proper office in these
respects ? I think it has, and 1 find a proof of the
first in the still very great, though necessarily abated,
measure of prosperity which attends our trade and in-
dustrv,—of the second, in the general content, and even
cheerfulness, with which the nation addresses itself to
the efforts and sacrifices entailed upon it by the in-
creasing demands of the public service.
" With these explanations,
" I remain your very obedient servant,

FIRE AT MILES'S LUNATIC ASYLUM, HOETON.—
Last evening, shortly after eight o'clock, a fire broke
out in the extensive and well known range of premises
termed Miles's Lunatic Asylum, situate at Hoxton Old-
town. The flames, when first discovered, were raging
in one of the Cottages in .the private grounds, used as
apartments for gentlemen patients. Fortunately, how-
ever, the inmates had been removed some short time
before the outbreak to the principal building. The fire-
men, upon reaching the scene, found the building in
which the disaster commenced- a double-fronted struc-
ture—in a blaze, and the flames issuing -through the
windows. The mains of the New River Company
afforded an abundant supply of water, from which the
Whitecross-street engine was set to work, and by attach-
ing several lengths of hose to the machine the firemen,
under the direction of their principal officers, went to
work is admirable style, but the cottage in which it
began was entirely gutted. Fortunately no other por-
tion of the asylum received the least injury.
THE CONVICTS UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH.—The
execution of William Thompson, for the murder of
Lorenz Beha, has been fixed by the High Sheriff to
t tke place on Saturday next, the Bth inst., at Norwich
Castle. He Las fully admitted his crime, and confessed
that no other person save himself had any share in the
transaction. He appears quite resigned to his fate.
The execution of James Hohinan, for the murder of his
wife, at Crowan, in Cornwall, will take place on Mon-
day next, at Bodmin. The prisoner persists in the
statement Which he made at the trial, that the murder
was the result of accident, and that it was neither pre-,
meditated nor wilful. James Bailey, who was found
guilty of the murder of Emily Coles, at Taunton, will
be banged at Wilton on the 15th. The High Sheriff of
the county of Salop has fixed the execution of Lloyd,

- -
The Opinione of Turin, of the 31st ult., pub-
lishes another address to the king from the
bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Turin, in
which they complain of the increase of Protestant
proselytism throughout the Piedmontese States, of
the profanation of the days held sacred in the
Catholic Church, and the abuses introduced into
public instruction. The address says "
In some cases the lectures are intended to pervert
the mind, in others to corrupt the.heart ; the history of
nations has been used to calumniate the Supreme Pon-
tiff, the Episcopacy, and the ministers of the Catholic
Church ; geology, natural history, and drawing have
been applied to insinuate pantheism, to insult modesty'
and corrupt morals,"

They conclude by stating that " the venerable
metropolitan" (the exiled Archbishop Franzoni),
"whose absence they still deplore" is undoubtedly
of the opinion of the framers of the add res 9, and
pray the king to take their remonstrances into
consideration.

BILLS OF EXCHANGE BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM, in moving the second reading of
this bill, called attention to the defective state of the law
in England with regard to bills of exchange and promissory
notes, and pointed out the advantages which would result
from assimilating it with the law of Scotland. In
England the holder of' a bill or a note was obliged
to enforce his right through an action at law, though
there could be no doubt of the genuineness
of the instrument, but in Scotland, by an admirable pro-
vision, which had existed in that country for upwards
of a century and a half, he had only to register it within
six weeks of its date, and he could then at once
obtain judgment and summary execution against the ac-
ceptor, drawer, or indorser, as the case might be.
The object of the present bill was to place the
mercantile classes here in the same situation as those in
Scotland in this respect. It was his intention to move
that the bill be referred to the select committee to which
the Common Law Procedure Bill was referred.
Lord CAMPBELL expressed his general approval of
the bill. _ _ _

After a few words from the LORD CHANCELLOR, the
bill was read a second time.

The Arbitration Law Amendment Bill was read a
second time.

The report of the amendments to the Testamentary
Jurisdiction 8111 was agreed to.

On the motion of the-Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the
Chimney Sweepers Bill was referred to a select com-
mittee, as required under standing order 175. .
Lord ST. LEONARDS moved for returns of the
number of wives and children of soldiers on service in
the East, or ordered there

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —Your very clever correspondent's communica-
tion on the lance prompts me to throw out a few hints
on the present dress of our army. Is it not opposed to
the principles of common sense and reason to send a man
into the field to endure the certain aim of the
rifle in a coat of scarlet braided with white, the very
colours chosen, on scientific principles, for the use of
railway signals and bulls' eyes, an addition of 10 per cent.
on his liability to be picked off over any other colour ?
I would suggest that future uniforms be made of some
mixture, Oxtord grey, or a heather mixture, which shall
render them as indistinct as possible—the very contrary
of what they now are ; or if our national colour, red, is
to be kept to distinguish us from the Russian green,
French blue, &c., would not a deep rich crimson, desti-
tute of the white tape now spread over the breast of a
private's uniform, and the saving thereof invested in a
better quality of cloth, be much handsomer, and alto-
gether to the wearer more satisfactory, as be would be
conscious of not being quite such a pedestrian bull's eye
as he now is for the shot of his enemy Let everything
in military matters be formed on the principle observed
in Christian art. Discover first what is requisite, and
then render it ornamental—not ornamental construc-
tion, but construction ornamental. The French mili-
tary cloak, with a hood instead of a cape, is a vast im-
provement over the same article supplied to our army.
It is absurd to suppose that everything supplied to our
army is on the most approved model. There are hints
to be gathered from the continental forces in little par-
ticulars which our Government would do well to take
under their judicious consideration.—I am, sir, yours
truly, A BRITISH OFFICER.
