inue to increase her strength ; and the latest protosition , the establishment of an army of reserve , i species of militia , is exactly the step calculated ; o render the Sardinian States impregnable , and to ifford a , most cogent suggestion to the dole of [ taly . King Victor 2 &ountobi , is again making 3 ommon cause Vfith all classes of his own population . Representatives of the Lombavclo-V enetiaii Kingdom are already united to Ms staudai-d , io . the persons of exile dno&tes and < a £ refugees ; movements in many of the Italian towns prove that the whole of the peninsula is waiting upon the course taken at Turin ; and the preparation for actual conflict , based as it is upon a military representation of the whole people , appeals equally to the traditions of Florence and of Rome .
"We have had a host of educational demonstrations , beginning- with the Horse Guards . H . It . H . the Commander -in-Chief has issued new orders requiringthat candidates for the offices of Aidc-de-Camp , Brigade-Major , Deputy Quartermaster-General , fee , shall know something of the things which sucli officers ought to know . A candidate for the office of Aidc-de-Camp must read and write grammatically
—a hard trial" ior some gentlemen in red—must know one European laugunge besides his own . ; . Brigade-Majors must also know the movements of troops , articles of war , and the regulations of the Queen ; and candidates for tlie high offices must kuow something of the way to survey a country—to sketch ifc , with the use of logarithms . The- march of intellect is at last introduced amongst military tunes . . ¦¦' ' : ¦'• ¦
Me . "WiLx . iOi Brown is to have a statue erected to him in the towii-lialL of Liverpool—the highest reward that could be given to a Roman citizen . — "because , out of his abuudance , he has given the means for constructing a handsome mansion as a public library to ornament the town and shelter the free readers thereof . It is not every mail having education , at heart that can give so many thousands towards it . It is not every man having thousaiids to g'lyc that earcs so much tor education , or can
indulge his personal tastes m so creditable a manner . A statue , a portrait given to the institution , a public dinner , some dozen addresses , and no end of compliments from mayors , lords , baronets * clergy , merchants , and working men , are the returns to Mr . Bulown for writing a cheque which will not take a mouthful from his dinner , deprive him of one coat in the year , or cost him a single personal discomfort . How easy is it for the wealthy to do good or obtain popularity ! . It is rather harder work for men who are not
" weaLthy . lhc more honour to the Reverend PuiiDiiiucK D . Ma . uj . uce for the exertions which have enabled him to establish in a permanent form something even greater than a public library—a genuine Working Men ' s College . He has not been able to write off a cheque , or to build a home , but he has given it his hundreds ; he has given it endless exertion ; he has obtained for it a freehold house ; ho has placed it in acknowledged relations with the University of London and with the Civil Service examinations ; he has induced pupils to distinguish themselves and
become teachers such as he and other men of his stamp can approve , as teachers of education . This is Christian { socialism in its purest aspect . Another excellent clergyman , the "Vicar of Brooke , in Norfolk , has established a rural circulating library lor the county , with two others in imitation of it , and . with colloquial lectures adapted to the cowjpr « cUejasion of a rural population . Bishops have come to look on at the good which ihc working clergymen can accomplish . It appears to us that more is done for Christianity in this unostentatious Avay than in the aggressive efforts of a Liddell and his imitators to
Uresa themselves out on Easter Sunday in grand robes ; ox- in the efforts of a . Westehton , re-elected by the parishioners of St . Paul ' s , Knightsbridgc , for the Protestant , purpose of stripping off the robes . Bobo or no robe , what is the ( hirercn . ee to the real spirit of Christianity ? It is absurd of Liddull to behevo that two cross pieces of wood or silver can propagate the doctrine ; but how still more absurd to believe that something is clone for religious freedom by undoing the pieces of cross wooif . As the moralist says , -wo do not envy the feelings of that man wlio can look upon the universal emblem of Christianity with indifference .

THE ANTICIPATED MURRAIN . Dr . Heai > lam ; Gkepnhow , Lecturer on Public Health at St . Thomas ' s Hospital , 8 fc , has been employed by the General Board of Health to inquire into the subject of the anticipated murrain -which , is at present creating great , and it would eeem somewhat undue , alarm . A report from Dr . Grcenhow has been published ; and in this we read : — " The disease at present or recently prevailing inliolatein and the adjoining countries is the * Pulmonary Murrain , ' and is identical with the ' lung < JiseaBe' that lias proved so destructive among the herds and dames of Great Britain and Ireland during the laBt fifteen or
sixteen years . Although | MW 8 essed of infectious properties in a moderate degree , the * lung disease' is known to arise spontaneously under certain ill-undcTstood conditions of food and season , and is not usually believed to have been imported hither from abroad . It is almost universally diffused throughout this country , lumng from tune to time broken out in txn epidemic torn in particular localities , and again disappeared , -without any very obvious cause . .... u There ia , however , another much more contagions
and fatal disease , called in Germany the' R . irnlcr-i ««» t , or Steppe Murrain , which appears to have been couibuiulca with the lung disease , but which , with one or two trivial exceptions , does not at present exist in any pnrt of O « - nmny or the west of continental Europe . This bteppc Murrain' is a totally dUTorent disease from the Pulmonary Murrain , and is spontaneously developed only "' Bessarabia , Podolia , and other countries of Soutlicn Kusaia , from which it is never absent , and whence it trc quently flprcads by contagion into Poland , an some times into Prussia and Austria .

^ — THE IRISH ELECTIONS . In glancing over some of the results of the Irish elections , the Times says : — " In Armagh , the Uoo . Coloa . el Caulfiftld , the heir to tlie Earldom of Cj »* feiQ < mt , and an hereditary Whig , lias -struck "his colonrs -yrftfcout a blow , and handed over tfce representation to Mr . Maxwell Close , -whose political principles are in pwfect accordance with , those of his colleague , Sir William ^ Terver , one of tie wost ultra-T « ries in the House of £ emmon | . In CavsHB , there has been a <« hange of men onlyj tne Hon . Captain Annesley , the new member , "being to the full as ardent a Conservative as Mr . Burroves , the retired member . The Downshire interest has Lad a signal triumph ill Down county . Mr . Kcr , the
moderate-Conservative , has been fairly driven from the field by Colonel Porde , whom no sane person would ever accuse as being in any way liable to the suspicion of moderation . He is an out-and-out supporter of Lord Derby . Monaglian , after a . feeble threat of opposition on the part of Mr . Lennard , restores Mr . Leslie and Sir George Foster to their old seats on the Opposition benches , as staunch upholders of undiluted Toryism . Greatly to the surprise of every one , and to none more than the defeated candidate , Mr . John George at the last hour was displaced in the county of Wexford by young Mr . Hatchell , -whose name as a politician was never before heard of , and whose first debut Sva . ? , on the hustings as the successful opponent of Mr . George . la the county of Gabvay , Dr . MacHale and
his suffragan , bishop , Dr . Deny , have sustained a most mortifying defeat in the ejection of their repentant nominee . Captain Bellew , it is well known , had given great oflfcnce to the Mooreites by now and then separating from the faction , and recording a stray vote or so for the Government . The day of retribution , however , arrived ; and immediately after the dissolution the gallant offender hastened to Ireland and supplicated absolution from the Archiepiscopal dictator of the western province . This was at first haughtily refused , but through the intervention of Dr . Derry a truce was patched up , and Mr . Bellew was permitted to appear on the hustings as the episcopal opponent of Mr . Gregory . But it was too late . The thoroughly Liberal Conservative and popular landlord proved more than a match for his two mitred antagonists , and , supported by the Roman Catholic and Protestant gentry , and
with many of the priests at his back , the day was won , and a heavy blow given to the turbulent prelate whose only success at the present elections was the dubious victory at Mayo , where a Roman Catholic Liberal was set aside , and an avowed . Derbyite substituted . " This result was in some degree brought about by a very disgraceful coercion of electors by the Rev . Peter Gonway , of Ballinrobe , a Roman . Catholic priest acting in the interests of the Derbyite candidate , \\ ixo is directly charged by two gentlemen of the name of Burke , father and son , with inciting a mob to drag them off a car , to beat and intimidate them , and to prevent their recording their votes in favour of Colonel Higgins , the Liberal candidate . Finding at last that the mob were going a little too far in their violence , the priest interposed , and saved the lives of the obnoxious electors , though he forced them to return without voting .
Sir Charles Domvile , one of the candidates for the county of Dublin , knows how to carry matters with a high hand . The following passage occurs in one of his addresses : — " I do not seek to represent in Parliament the owners of villas in this county ; I seek to represent the owners of largo properties iind their tenants . I am supported by Lord Howth , Lord Meath , Lord Lansdowne , Lord Talbot de Malahido , and Colonel "White , and , I may a < ld , I support myself . " At any rate , this has tbo virtue of candour , though the quality is here closely allied to insolence . Sir Charles lias been defeated .
The official declaration of the poll for the Derry election was attended by a riot , arising out of an attempt to burn an Orangeman in effigy . A troop pf the 17 th Lancers , distinguished in tho Bnlaklava charge , was called xmt ; two men -were wounded by shots ( fired from a house which was being attacked ) ; and it was not till tho soldiers rocLe at tho mob that the people dispersed . There has also been some rioting at Coleraino . Tho Tipperary county election terminated on Tuesday in the unopposed return . of Tho O'Donoghuo a « d Mr . Waldron . Tho election for Lcitrirn is the onjy one which hasyat to take place . It will occur early next week ; and the New Parliament will then be complete , so that the public will speedily be looking forward to tho virgin session .
SCOTTISH PKEKS . The election of sixteen peers , to represent Scotland in tho Houso of Lords , took place in tho old Picture Gallory of Holyrood House on Tuesday . The noblemen who sat in the Houee during tho last Parliament woro re-elected unanimously . They aro as follows :- —The Marquis of Twccddale , tbo Earl of Morton , tho Earl of Home , tho Earl of Strathmore , the Earl of Airlio , tho Earl of Lovon and Melville , tho Earl of Selkirk , tho Earl of Orkney , the Earl of Sealield , Viscount Sfathftllan , Lord Gray , Lord Sinclair , Lord Elphinatone , Lord CoWillo of Culross , Lord Blnntyre , and Lord Polwarth .
