AMONGST other good results to be naturally anticipated from GARIBALDI'S visit to this country is a more correct and complete knowledge and ap preciation of his character on the part both of Eoglishmen at large and of other nations. Some may perhaps be disposed to think any such fuller knowledge and appreciation needless, if not imp's- GARIBALDI'B nature being in their judgment se simple and transparent that his virtues and his weaknesses must at once be thoroughly under stood by all intelligent and candid minds. This is no doubt perfectly true of the more prominent features of his character and career. His heroic valour, quenchless patriotism, enthu siastic love of liberty, sublime disinterestedness, and absolute devotion to the cause of the op pressed, lie on the surface, and are known as widely as his name. Those rare and noble qualities have deservedly attracted towards him the unbounded affection and respect of the great body of the people in every free country. They constitute the broad ground of the marvellous welcome he has re ceived from all classes, but especially from the working people, amongst ourselves, and looked at in this light there is perhaps on record no instance of popular reverence and admiration at once not only so profound and universal, but so en lightened and so just. While, however, all men recognise in GASIBALDI the heroic soldier of Italy, and stainless champion of freedom, many are still disposed to regard him as essentially a revolutionist, devoted, indeed, to the cause of national liberty and independence, and willing to advance it at any hazard or sacrifice in the field, but at the same time comparatively indifferent to the permanent conditions of national stability, and the precious interests of social order. To all such his address to his fellow-countrymen at the Crystal Palace on Saturday will be • surprise, and it ought to be a very welcome and instructive one. In that address GARIBALDI appears notes the soldier or the revolutionist, but as the sincere friend and lover of order, the apostle and missionary of peace. While he naturally speaks in the warmest terms of England as the friend of Italy and the chief of free nations, he tells his fellow-countrymen that what has specially excited his admiration and delight since he came amongst us is the union of order with freedom. Having visited our dockyards and arsenals, and seen on every side the accu mulated proofs of our prolific industry, sad enormous commerce, the evidences of our vast national wealth and power, there is still one spec tacle that has affected him more than all besides, and is evidently in his mind of far higher impor tance. " I have seen one great thing," he says, "half a million of people kept in order by a 1111/ . "dozen policsmanb plain single ;Oiswinar-filt " there are no gendarmes, no monchards this "country, they cannot live in its free air." He traces this surprising fact to its true causes—the %Mk@ of ardent patriotism with enlightened loyalty, of the strongest love of freedom with re spect for just and equal laws—holding up our " imperishable love of liberty," with the institutions by which it is guaranteed, to the admiration and imitation of the world. The speaker's simple statement of Ms own relation to these great interests-the interests of national freedom, order, and promos—es equally Inter 'sting and characteristic. - se. Countrymen," said this untitled dethroner of an ancient despotism, this liberator of an oppressed people—" I am not " • moldier by profession ; I only took up the trade "of • soldier when I found robbers in my hones, " and I turned soldier to expel them. I bemuse " a soldier to fight against the oppressors of my " country." This view of GARIBALDI as the Wend of order and lover of peace will, however, be no novelty to those who have carefully followed his weer. To them it will simply express the truest and deepest elements of his nature reflected with perfect coeds tency in every act of his life. He pommies in the rarest strength and purity the virtues which are the only sufficient as they are the sovereign guarantees of all the interests connected with lasting peace and settled order. In a word, he is above all things else a thoroughly good and honest man, and all such men desire, if it be parable, to live just, peace able, and orderly lives. The love of justice and the freedom of his country and his kind, is the master passion of his nature, the supreme and controlling principle of his very being. If he could effectually serve these essential interests of humanity, if any opportunity offered for strik ing a blow in behalf of freedom, justice, and human progress, he has always been ready to do so at any hazard or sacrifice, never counting for a mo ment the personal cost. If no such opportunity offered he has always been ready and willing to with draw from the public view, to Ave the most simple and retired life, working with his own hands, satis fied with the common lot, cheerfully accepting the daily round of cares, and duties, and employ ments, neither seeking nor desiring gain nor glory. Nothing can well be conceived more unlace the career of a revolutionist than the way in wbich GARIBALDI has spent the greater part of his life. For many years, both before and after 1848, during his voluntary or enforced exile from his native land, he followed the quiet career of • trader, making long voyages in his own vessel as his father bad done before him, and when allowed by the government of Piedmont to return' home in 1854, be lived in the deepest re tirement, first at Nice, then at CapreL., l devoting himself exclusively to the cultivation of his farm and the society of his children, until summoned once more to the field by the war of independence. Such a call he was sure to obey with all the ardour of his nature, but in obeying it he conspicuously displayed his true loyalty of heart, his native love of law and order. As on arriving at Nice in 1848 he bad offered his services to CHARLES Auts; so now he fought beneath the banner of Vic-roe &MANUEL. He would be true to any King or any Government that was true to the country. His subsequent expeditions are no ex ception to this law of his career. The first, which revolutionised the kingdom of Naples, was 'imply a volunteer attack against a fore;gn despot ; and the second, which terminated on the fatal heights of Aspronsonte, though called • rebellion, did not in reality possess that character. GARIBALDI knew perfectly well that Italy at that time was not its own master the head of the Government being virtually the lieutenant of a hostile power. And even then, in presence of the royal troops, he rttempted no resistance, his single and reiterated order in presence of the royal troops be'ng an order not to fire. Though he bas fought so often and so sucoesefully, it Is equally true that he has never been • soldier by predilection, and that he has always pursued war exclusively in the interests of peace. He knows that in justice and oppression are the prolific and perennial causes of disorder, and having within him the enthusiastic] fire of a patriot and • hero, he has ever, as occasion has offered, done his utmost to destroy those sources of crime and bloodshed. He has drawn biz sword only against the chronic causes of national confusion and strife, and fought but to conquer the con ditions of true and lasting peace. His efforts have been attended with glorious sumo& He has fought for freedom in both hemispberes, and rendered signal services first to the country of his adoption, and in later years to his native land, even adding to the crown of Vicron EMBIANDEL new kingdom. And for these priveless services the only reward he has asked or received from any government is the protection of just and equal laws, the right to speak and act as a free citizen. Such • man is pre-eminently entitled to come forward, in the presence of free Englishmen, as the friend of order and the Apostle of Pesoe. AMU, GINICRAL BENEVOLANT INSTITUTION.

The exhibition of this Society, long more fami liarly known as the "New Society," was opened to the public today. The new gallery in Pell-malt is well filled with many drawing of average merit, while there are some works which fairly claim rank mow% the highest efforts of the art. There WY a thee when the Mae of drawing was restricted ; now, wspresume, it would be peed- Moto pint upon paper of any breadth, se that here the terms are equal. Then, as to the resource* of the palette, them have been so enlarged and improved of late that evidently there is not much advantage left on the Ids of the oil colour painter. We might point to the work of Mr. Cat boat to show in this mews what power redden is the method of water-colour, or to the drawing of flowers by Km. Marietta, to prove that a purity of tint is possible to watereoleer superior to anything attaisabie in oiL &PI the fast remains, that artists in water-colour very rarely attempt the high subject style ; they iodine to landscape and the whole circle of the picturemne, and in the former they decidedly bear away the palm. Is it that they have no► commenced study with the severe models before them, end are at length surprised into lading themselves able to paint with seertain mastery overthe method, without possessing the mere subtle acquirements which arise from early and constent contemplation of the highest themes It would seem as if this line of art were somewhat foreign to that of the academies ; i► I. unknown in the 'thesis abroad, and has never been acknowledged here, stowing in the form of miniature painting, and this bas well nigh become extinct wider the competition of photography. Yet the nulunente of art must be as necessary to the water-colour painter as to the painter in oil, unless be consent to take the lower grade, or be content with reigning supreme in his own Articular sphere of leadmape. MUSIC. ---- THE ITALIAN THEATRES. Onglielino Tell was performed at the Royal Italian opera on Saturday evening. Wachtel 'curtained the character of Arcoldo, In which be achieved the greatest sac. ors that he has yet obtained. The music of the peel is entirely suitable to his voioe.

The Nord of to-day publishes the text of the instructions to their plenipotentiary at the con ference of London, adopted by the Germanic Diet on Thursday last. They are as follows : I. Taking the naiire cOairlitation and the resolutions almady adopted by the Diet ea the brie--to act in favour ef the recognition of the rights' sad the safe keeping of the istmede of the Confederation and of the Duchies of Hol stein, lamenbourg, and Skamig. To haslet especially upon as wide ea autonomy as pandbie for the latter states. 2. In order to prevent, as far as is practicable, dissensions from arising between the different reprreatatives of Gm , many at the coofessance, the representatives of the Diet shall endeavour to wafer pres:ously upon all the important subjects with the pleolpotentiaries of Prude and Austria, in the cue in which the latter may have analogous Instruc tions. The Bavarian minister proposed to replace the sentence commencing, "To insist especially," arc., by the following :—" To insist especially upon the recognition of the Prinoe of Augustenbourg" as Duke of Holstein and of Sleswig, and consequently upon the complete separation of those two duchies from Denmark. The Afelmoria/ Diplomat:iglu says that M. de Bndberg has received written instructions relative to the attitude which Russia vsll take in the conference, and that he has communicated them verbally to the French Banister of Foreign Affairs. The St. Petersburg court hors great strew upon the wish of the populations of the duchies, but at the same time the peeciple of the integrity of Denmark must not be lost sight of. It is not that this prin ciple has a very great importance of itself, but it acquires peculiar inipoi lance by the grave compli cations which a dismemberment of the Danish monarchy would occasion. As a compromise, the Russian instructions suggest the division of Sleswig into two parts—one of which, situated at the south, would be attached to Holstein, and the other to Denmark, with the Dauewirke as its natural frontier. (aserrioes masaiuxis.) FRANCE. LETTER OF THE EMPEROR TO M. FOULD. PARIS. Ann, 18. The Emperor has addressed the folkowing letter, dated the 15th inst., to the Minister of Finance : " The happy solution of the Mexican affair creates in me a desire to see the country profit by the first repayment of the expenses of the war by diminish ing the taxes on landed property. Be good enough therefore to see if it be not possible to effect the immediate suppression of the second dacime regis tration fee, only preserving of the general law pre pared by the Cootie of State those arrangements which may be strictly necessary for balancing the budget. This measure, together with the hopes of peace, which every day become more certain, will contribute, I trust, to the development of publics prosperity." The Mon iteur of this morning publishes the fol lowing telegram : " Vas Crux, March 19. "There is no military news. The army.of Juarez no longer exists, Juarez himself being a fugitive. His whereabouts is unknown. "There are only some bands of plunderers wan dering about the oountry." THE NEW MEXICAN LOAN. PARIS, Aran. 18. The subscriptions to the new DieziCan loan are already very large. The scrip is quoted lf per cent. premium. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on owl( PARIS, SUNDAY EVZZING. The "second &fume," which the government feels itself enablud to abolish, in consequence of as sum which it is about to receive from the Mexi can government, produced about 26,000,000 fr. to the revenue. The tax was one that has been much complained of, since it weighed heavily upon real property, and more particularly upon small estates. The repeal will be very popular, and the announce ment of the measure in time for the debate on this year's budget is undoubtedly a clever hit. The Nation sap of the Mexican convention pub limbed in to-day's Moniteur : It apposes that for a long time yet to come then will be Prima soldiers in Maxim. The bulk of our army is *sly to evacuate the country so soot as the Emperor Maximilian mu organise iodigenoes contingents--that is to say, that there is so definite time liccd for oar evacuation. Io any caos we uodertake that for s'x years the tarok.' legioo of 8,000 men shall rearms is the pay sad service of the Mexican government. We see by those arrangements that our respoosibility will remain engaged in Mexico. So long as the French flag floats in that country the mule in which it is engaged must be ours. The Emperor Maximilian woo well vrarrantecl is talkiog at Miramar of the "gitanuitece ° 'which be had obtained from lb. magnani mous Emperor of the Franck. The Opinion Nationale also calls attention to the responsibility of France. It will suffice, it says, for a single general to make a pronunciamento, a single bishop to issue a rebellious proclamation, and the honour of France will be pledged to support the government which it has founded. The Opinion also lays stress upon the old objection—not the weaker for being old—that when the A.merioan war is over, the United States will look with disfavour upon the new empire, and that a war with France on behalf of the Monroe doctrine may be the oon sequence. A letter of M. Duruy's to the rector of the Mont pellier Academy on the subject of an application to authorise public lectures under the auspices of a Franco-Polish committee shows that the French government has still a morbid dread of free dis cussion in all its forms. Applications of this kind, the liberal Minister of Public Instruction is constrained to say, are now so frequent that it is necessary to lay down rules on the subject. His rah, is that if he is satisfied that the sole object of the lecturer is to disseminate useful and moral instruction among the laborious classes, or to afford elegant and profitable recreation to the higher, then he will grant the authorisation. But whenever he has reason to suspect, whether from the subject to be treated or the names of the persons who propose to treat of them, that the lectures are likely to have a political character, then he will sternly refuse. The government will not suffer political adversaries to advertise themselves by keeping their names before the public se lecturers ; and moreover, whenever, independently of the intention of the lecturer, it shall be found that the audience ap plauds pi/rages in his discourse susceptible of a political interpretation, then the permissioa granted is to be withdrawn. It is • standing marvel that a government which professes to be the most popular one in the world, and boasts contiaually that on every appeal to the people during the last fifteen years it has bad • majority approaching to unanimity, should be so scared by the bare possibility of free speech as to frame such petty regulations as these.
