No life was endangered as the warning came early enough to ensure escape , but a drummer and private of the Coldstream Guards were injured , the latter so severely that his removal to the hospital became necessary . One of the firemen , too , on whom a beam fell was also conveyed thither .
From France we hear of dissensions in the Ministry . Considering what a heterogeneous body it is , we are by no means surprised at this report . Great difficulties are anticipated at the beginning of the approaching session . From Spain we learn that six Alphonsist columns have
been organised for the better pursuit of the Carlists in the province of Gerona . The latter are bombarding Pampeluna , but the damage done by the shells seems to be immaterial . There is , in fact , a good deal of fear among the inhabitants , but fortunately no serious
amount of danger . His Holiness the Pope has received au envoy from the Shah of Persia . The latter thanks the Pope for his letter and presents , and promises that all Roman Catholics in Persia shall be protected and respected in the exercise of their religion . Might not Pius IX .
take a leaf out of the Shah ' s book , and leave Freemasons unmolested in the exercise of their religion ? The approaching visit of the Emperor of Germany to Milan is being pretty generally discussed , and no doubt the Italians from the King downwards will accord his Majesty a most
enthusiastic reception . They are directly indebted to Prussia for Venice , and indirectly for Rome , so there is every reason why they should greet him heartily . As regards the Herzegovina , we imagine the insurrection must be pretty well on its last legs . We hear of occasional
engagements , m which , whenever Turkish troops are engaged , they send their enemies to the right about in double quick time . If now and again we hear of insurgent successes , we fancy the telegram should be read excesses at the expense of inoffensive Turkish women and children
and their property . The Earl of Derby has recently stated that when the European Consuls were lately traversing the disturbed districts , the principal difficulty they experienced was in finding any insurgents . So much for the boastful telegrams about great defeats of Turkish troops ,
which a fortnight or two since came in such numbers from Servia and Vienna . Happily the Great Powers have determined upon following a policy of non-intervention . Turkey , for once , will be left to deal with her own subjects . Doubtless , when the disturbances are at an end , we shall
hear of the Sultan having acceded to the prayers of his subjects for certain reforms . Our difficulties with China and Burmah , according to the latest advices , appear to be in a fair way of being settled , but we must not be too hopeful . It is no good shouting till you are out of the
wood . The Chinese are as great in deception as in failing to carry out their promises . John Bull may yet find it necesary to chastise John Chinaman , and will do so certainly if the murderers of one of her Majesty ' s Consular servants are not duly punished by the Chinese G
overnment . By advices from America we hear that the recent storms in Texas have been very disastrous both to life and property . Over a hundred lives have been lost , and property destroyed to the estimated extent of five million dollars . The velocity of the wind is
said at one time to have been at the rate of fifty miles an hour . We doubt not steps will be promptly takeu to repair the damage , and equally certain are we that , if subscriptions are opened in this country , a good round sum will be raised .
The election at the Quarterly Court , of the Needlemakers ' Company was held on Thursday , and Brother J . C . Parkinson , Deputy Provincial Master for Middlesex , and W .

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN . —Ifc was in Philadelphia that Franklin first became a printer on his own account ; bnt he had previously visited England , and worked as a journeyman in a London office . This was in 1725 , when he was only nineteen : by the middle of 1726 he was back in Philadelphia , and ifc was in that city that he made his first advances to independence . His industry was boundless ; no labour
that was honest he considered beneath him ; he never stooped to the vulgar folly of setting himself above his work . The ingenuity of his mind and the readiness of his hands made him so varied a master of his craft that he conld cast types , make printer ' s ink , cut woodengravings , and execute vignettes in copper . Opening an office of his own , he was chosen by the Pennsylvanian Assembly to be their
printer . Philadelphia was his foster-city , and he owed to it more than to the city of his birth . It was there that he speculated and wrote ; it was there that he started a newspaper ; it was there that he published "Poor Richard's Almanack , " and delighted the thrifty with the proverbial philosophy of money getting . In Philadelphia he resided the greater part of his life , advancing education , founding
libraries and philosophical societies , promoting social improvements , and making those experiments in electricity which have tamed tho lightning , and converted it from the brilliant terror of the heavens into the orderly servant of man . He was not an idealist in science ; he brought it down , literally , to the fireside , and to the lamp upon the
table . But , though nothing of a poet , he loved music , and invented the harmonica , the knowledge of which he is said to have concealed from his wife until tho instrument was perfect , when , waking her with ifc at night , she thought it was the music of angels . —From " Cas . sell ' s History of tho United States " for October .
