ITALY.

The Croce di Savoia of Turin, of the 29th ult.,
states that rumours of a change of Ministry are afloat
in that capital. It is believed the Marquis D'AZEG-
LIO will be sent to Paris as Sardinian Ambassador,
and that Count REVEL will be entrusted with the
portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and Chevalier Crugaitio
with that of Public Instruction, while Cavouu will
assume the Presidency of the Council, without giving
up the finances.

ANOTHER FATAL COLLIERY ACEIDENT.—BRISTOL,
SEPT. 1, 5 r.m.—lnformation has just reached this city of
another dreadful colliery accident which occurred this after-
noon at Kinsgwood, near this city, by which one man, if not
more, has lost his life, and five others have been sent in to
the Bristol Infirmary, dreadfully mangled. The names of
the sufferers are—George English, John Bright, Joseph
Parker, William Wiltshire, and Nathaniel Dix. The par-
ticulars of the calamity are not yet known, but it is cur-
rently reported that there are at the pit other dead bodies,
and some poor fellows too seriously injured to be removed.
THE LONDON ART-UNION EXHIBITION. The
exhibition of works of art selected by the prizeholders was
opened to the subscribers and their friends on Monday, in the
Suffolk-street Gallery. A selection has been made, too,
from the purchases of former years, so that the collection as
a whole is large and interesting. The council have very
properly kept the pictures of the year separate, giving one
side and end of the large room and of a second room to the
new works, and the corresponding side and end to those of
previous years. A third room is filled with water-colour
drawings.—Builder.
LEASE OF MONALTRIE HOUSE BY THE PREMIER.—
Lord John Russell has taken a lease of Monaltrie House,
Deeside, for a period, we believe, exactly corresponding to
the length of time over which her Majesty's residence at Bal-
moral is expected to extend. Monaltrie House is romanti-
cally situated near Ballater, about ten miles from Balmoral
Castle.—Patriot.

The funds now subscribed towards the erection of
the proposed church at Balsall Heath amount to nearly
2,2001., and from the active steps that are being taken, we
doubt not that a sufficient sum will shortly be raised to war-
rant the committee in commencing the church, the plans of
which have been approved, and highly commended by the
Winces* Diocesan §Nicty.—.Birmingho7n Gazette.
