ON Monday last the Norwich magistrates were occupied all day in investigating the details of an extraordinary attempt recently made by certain Romish priests to withdraw a boy of good family and large expectations from the control of his friends and natural guardians. The case well merits investigation, not only for its own sake, but as an illustration of a system which there is too much reason to be lieve is extensively pursued in this country by the more determined and unscrupulous agents of the Romish Church. The inquiry into the facts of the case la indeed not yet concluded, and we have no wish to anticipate the decision of the judicial tribunal on these facts, so far as the legal question at issue is concerned. But quite enough has been already disclosed to enable us to form a decided judgment on the general merits of the case. Whe ther the legal offence be fully proved against the delinquent& or not, their moral guilt will remain the same. On this latter point we apprehend there will be little difference of opinion amongst right thinking Englishmen, Catholic as well as Pro testant. The facts of the case are soon told. Mr. VAX. auras;, the member for Windsor, has an only son, now between fifteen and sixteen years old. In his evidence before the magistrates his father describes the boy as being naturally weak-minded, always delicate in health, and easily influenced. He is also, we believe, the heir of considerable pro perty in his own right. This youth was originally intended for the navy, and his father had obtained • nomination for him, but the preliminary exami nation proved too severe for his slender powers, and he broke down, " not being able," as his father pointedly put it, "to grapple with the " mathematics and double decimals." He was that (upwards of a year ago) sent to a military school at Brighton, where be remained till the middle of last month. Up to within • few days of that time Mr. VANstrrser seems to have had no suspicion what ever that his son had been subject to any Romish isdlessees or had any leanings towards the Routh& Church. During the Easter holidays, indeed, he noticed that the boy looked disturbed, was " restless and uncomfortable ;" but still he sus pected nothing. Soon after his return to Brighton, however, he received a letter from the master of the school stating that "his son showed imp " tome of having imbibed Roman Catholic grin " cipke, which he was afraid he must have obtained " in Ireland." Mr. Vaearrrsat is himself a decided Protestant—" a very strong Protestant indeed, if " anything, Low Church, having a perfect abhor " rence of anything like Puseyism or Roman " Catholicism." It is pomible that the strong Protestantism of the father may at times have manifested itself in forms repulsive to the delicate sensibilities of his weak-witted son. However this may be, Mr. VANNITTART has relatives in Ire land, some of whom are Catholics, and amongst these the boy spent his last winter holidays. Here, apparently for the first time, he came under Boarish influence, and was secretly tampered with by Romish agents. They imbued his weak mind with certain Roman Catholic notions, and " in " duced him to go to mass once or twice without " the knowledge of any of his relatives." On his return to Brighton the new influence began to work, and his new friends still took a lively interest in his welfare. He was not only intro duced to certain priests, amongst others an Italian priest named Gteoixt, but induced clandestinely to leave the military school and put himself wholly into their hands. Early last month a telegram informed Mr. Vaesrrraar that his son had left the school. Hu immediately went down to Brighton, and discovered that he was with Mr. Ctesay, a Roman Catholic priest, either living in his house or secreted by him elsewhere. When Mr. VAN aITTAKT called to demand his son, Mr. CLIARY at first demurred, " hemmed and hawed a little," but on being threatened with a mandamus by at once gave the boy up. Anxious to avoid toy recurrence of such painful scenes, Mr. VANSIITART looked about for some good Protestant clergyman with whom he might place his son, and fixed on the Rev. H. S. HOW ors, Tiearof Itackheath, near Norwich. The boy Wita placed under his care about three weeks ago, and re mained there till Saturday morning last. When left to himself young VVIRITTAST SNOW to have been perfectly satisfied and happy at Mr. Honcsoies. So far from evincing any repugnance towards Protestant notions and Protestant worship, he manifested, according to Mr. HomitioN's testimony, a strong liking for them, and even took the sacra ment at his own special request Indeed he plainly states " that he was not thinking of " being a Catholic then, hut had dispelled such " thoughts from his mind, as he had been ad " vied." At this point begin the proceedings which are now the subject of judicial investigation before the magistrates at Norwich. Last tuesday week Mr. H.n.c.m.)N waa sway from home 'for some hours celebrating a marriage. During his tem porary absence, according to the boy's statement, ililinim THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 14, iseO; the Italian priest, Gramm, whom he had met at Brighton, appeared in the neighbourhood of the rectory. He saw him on that morning is the road leading to the rectory, "crouching down" under the hedge, so as not to be noticed, and dreamed in a large long blue cloak, with his features muffled up. He beckoned the boy to him, told him how glad he wee to see him, expressed • fervent hope that he would not desert " our " faith," advised him to run away from school, and exacted a solemn oath, on "a " holy relic," that he would never breathe • word of their interview. The object of this clerical bandit's visit, supposing it to have taken place as the boy describes, is plain enough. It was to urge a repetition of the Brighton expe riment. "As you still wish to be • Catholic," said the man in tho long blue cloak' and ' little Italian hat,' " I would advise you to do what " your schoolfellows vulgarly call cut and run.'" On the boy asking where he should go, he , promptly replied, " Oh, there are plenty of " Catholic chapels about," specifying at the same time " one in Willow-lane, a Jesuitical one." The I , bandit's mission seems to have been quite success fuL From that morning Vaitairr•ar determined to leave, but he expressly says he had no thought of doing so before Gitiontes visit ; " it was through " his persuasion." Mr. HonosoN, he expressly says, " had treated him very kindly indeed." Last Saturday he carried his new resolve into execution. Leaving the rectory early in the morning, he proceeded to Norwich, and made his way at once to the Catholic chapel in the Madder market. On going into the yard his attention was soon arrested by some one tapping at • window. This proved to be Canon DALTON, who asked him into the house and inquired what he wanted. The boy at once explained his position and his plan. He told him who he was and where he had come from, that he had run sway from school, and proposed to go to London and join some Catholic priests he knew there. He further told DaLrow who his father was, that he was a Protestant, and why he had placed him with Mr. HODGSON. We suppose there can scarcely be two opinions as to the course an honest man ought to have pursued under these circumstances. He would not only have urged, but insisted on the truant's returningat once to:Mr. HODGSON'S, and communicating with his father if he wished to leave. What course did Canon D•Lrox pursue T According to his own testimony he encouraged the boy in the design of escaping from his.natural guardians, screened him from their pursuit, advised him as to the best way of proceeding, and assisted him in obtaining means for its execution. According to his own testi mony, he kept him in his own room for some hours, then took him to • house where he might remain concealed, and lent him money to pursue his journey. According to the boy's testi mony, supported in at least one parti cular by evidence produced in court, Canon DALTON went much further. He applauded his resolution in running away from school ; told him where to go in London, and gave him a note to • " Father Thomas," who would provide for him ; advised him not to communicate with his father at present ; and recommended him to sell • watch belonging to a companion in order to ob tain means for his journey. He took him to a safe German Catholic watchmaker, at whose house he remained concealed till Mr. HODGSON'S arrival at Norwish and communications with the police sug gested to Canon Dm:row the propriety of endea vouring to retreat from his false position by stat ing where he was to be found. These are the main facts of the case as it stands at present. They tell their own tale pretty clearly. The two attempts to withdraw young Vasnurraar from his natural and lawful guardians, and hide him in some priestly home, can scarcely be acci dental. All the facts of the latter attempt certainly favour the supposition of • direct conspiracy to entrap this weak-minded youth. Of the Italian °lrwin we say nothing more at present than, if the facts stated by the boy are true, he was clearly guilty of a legal offence, and is exposed to legal penalties. But Canon D•troit's moral culpability is quite as great, if not greater ; and the ready way in which he matured and aided the boy's crude plan of , escape shows not only that he was prepared for this particular case, but familiar with the policy it exemplifies. It becomes important to inquire how many clerical bandits in blue cloaks march abroad to entrap weak-minded boys with good expectations, and how many Canon Davross sit quietly at home rubbing their hands over their success, and calling it "capital fun." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. --4.- SICILY. PALFAMO, Jon 11, Ennio. The embarkation of royal troops continues. The town it still barricaded. Advioes from Palermo state that Garibaldi has decided on increasing to twenty the number of re giments, the organisation of which he had decreed. It is only when those regular forces shall have been formed that he is expected to resume military ope ration& tintil that time he will occupy himself exclusively with organising his government and dis seminating the principles of his cause through the island. A letter from Genoa of the 9th states that an expedition for Sicily left on the previous night the small port of Sestri, situated at the mouth of the river Pounenti. The expedition was composed of three vessels, two being steamers. They carry 2,000 volunteers. According to a despatch from Naples, the Nea politans still retain, in Sicily not only Messina, Syracuse, and Agosta, but also Milano and Licata. Milano is situated on the road between Messina and Palermo, at the entrance of the isthmus near the cape which bears its name, and is 27 miles from Messina and 148 from Palermo. It is a kind of depot for the garrison of Messina ; for the fortifi cations of Milano, which were once considerable, were destroyed in 1854. The population is about 12,000. Licata nerves for victualling Syracuse. It contains 15,000 inhabitants, and stands on the road from Girgenti. Licata has a fortress built on a rock, which advances into the sea. The Turin Gazette says that an officer of the Neapolitan court, named Bosco, has left for Sicily, declaring his intention of either killing Garibaldi (in a duel it is to be supposed) or being killed by him. The same journal asserts that the l eapoli tan government has set a price of 20,000 ducats (85,000 fr.) upon the head of Garibaldi. ?MA NCE. PARIS, TIirRBDAT. The Moniteur of this morning contains several decrees regulating the customs administration and the military organisation of Savoy and Nioe. According to a project of law which has been sub mitted to the Corps Legislatif, Savoy will form two departments. THE FRENCH IN ITALY. Advioes from Milan of the 12th inst. that Marshal Vail ant left that capital at 9 o'clock on the morning of that day. The municipality of Milan accompanied him. The troops of the Na tional Guard were drawn up along the streets through which the Marshal had to pass, and he was greeted on all sides with enthusiasm and cheers. A despatch from Turin, of the same date, says : " At Magenta Marshal Valliant was received by the National Guard, and by the municipal authori ties. At Novara he was complimented by the Governor of the town. At Arona the Marshal made an excursion on the Lego Maggiore on board a government steamer. He wan expected at Turin on the 13th." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova owl onuarosmorr.) PARIS, WIIIIITSIDAT Emma. You have probably already heard that the inter view which is to take place at Baden on Saturday between Napoleon 111. and the Prince Regent of Prussia is attributed to the mediation of the Dow ager Empress of Russia. I have heard, on good authority, that the Emperor said to the Dowager Empress at Lyons, "Madame, tell your illustrious brother that I am his friend. I think Prussia ought to be at the head of a united Germany, and I am reedy to do for Germany what I have done for Italy." These words, which I firmly believe were uttered, confirm what I told you on Saturday last, that the Emperor goes to Baden to tempt the Prince Regent to play the part of Victor Emmanuel I should be criminally blind to everything which I see daily before my eyes if I ware to suppress the fact, proclaimed, not by the enemies but by the friends of the Emperor, that he has a settled pur pose to take not only the Rhine, but Belgium and Genoa. A committee of Neapolitan royalists is on its way to Paris to solicit the good offices of the Em peror in favour of Bomba IL, and to back up M. Martino's mission. The latter diplomatist, to whom Lord Palmerston has promised a bad recep tion if he should go to England, went to Fontaine bleau last night. The Bourse, after some fluctuation, closed within a shade at yesterday's prices, both as re gards the Rente and all other securities. The extreme prices of the Bente were 68fr. 70c. and 68fr. 45c. The closing quotation was 68fr. 55c., with a rather heavy market. Yesterday morning the troops quartered at the niilitary school in the Champ de Mars were startled by the report of a musket in one of the barrack rooms. A grenadier of the Imperial Guard, having a grudge against his sergeant, had shot him dead. The ball, after passing through the sergeant's body, wounded a soldier so severely that he died in two hours. The murderer was in the act of reloading his piece, with the intention, probably, of blowing his own brains out, when he was seized by some men of his company. At Toulouse, on June 7, the presiding judge of the Imperial Court (M. Solomiac) narrowly escaped assassination on the bench. As the judges were about to retire to their private room, a man in the body of the court fired a pistol at the president, who would probably have received the ball in his head but for the accident of his having stooped at the moment when the shot was delivered to give a paper to a registrar. Pursuant to articles 507 and 508 of the Code, which authorise courts of justice to take immediate cognisance of crimes committed in their presence, the judges at once resumed their seats, and the criminal was put on his trial for his life then and there. On being interrogated he gave his name as Casimir Guilhem, of Graulhet (Tarn). He very coolly stated that, having lost two causes in that court, he had applied to the Emperor for redress, but not having received a favourable answer, he had taken an oath two months since that he would be revenged upon the judges. They had completely ruined him by their decisions, and he thought he had a perfect right to punish them. Witnesses deposed that the pri soner had spoken to them of his design, and that they had treated him as a madman. It was also proved that he had been lately seen in the streets in a ridiculous costume, with blue satin shoes on his feet. A barrister, assigned to the prisoner by the court, pleaded insanity. This defence, which would probably have been successful in England, was not admitted by the court, which pronounced a! verdict of guilty ; but, admitting the excited state of the man's mind as an " extenuating circumstance," it condemned him to hard labour for life, instead of passing a capital sentence. A doubt is felt by some members of the Toulouse bar whether the sentence is legal, the provision of the criminal code being that offences committed " during" the sitting shall be judged at once, whereas in this case the pistol was fired as the judges were leaving the bench, and consequently " after " the sitting—or, at least, during a temporary suspension of it. The prisoner has appealed to the Court of Caseation. This event, unprecedented in France, calls to mind the assas sination at Edinburgh, in 1689, of the Lord President Lockhart, who was shot dead on the bench by a man whom he had ordered to pay au alimony of 100/ a year to his wife and children. In that case the prisoner was tortured by order of the Scottish par liament and was afterwards hanged, drawn, and quartered. The guests of the second series have left for Fontainebleau. Among them were the Minister of Justice and Mme. Delangle ; the Minister of Public Works and Mme. Rouher ; the Duke and Duchess de Malakoff ; the Duke and Duchess d'lsly ; Lord Cowley; the Duke and Duchess de Cambacires ; ?time. Fleury ; Count and Countess de Beaumont ; Count and Countess Lehon ; Prince and Princess Czartoriski ; M. and Mme. de Taiguy ; General and M. de Failly ; MM. Domingo and Xavier Arcos, &c. ITALY. SARDINIA. Orsom on owl TURIN, Jmni 10. Garibaldi's last letters from Palermo have caused still greater excitement here. He asks for more brave men to fill the vacancies in his ecreciageri dale Alpi, who, he says, were more than decimated in the recent battles. Now, there are numberless persons ambitious of ta king the place of the dead and wounded, and the chief difficulty is that of selection. Italy is not dead, nor do the Italians dislike war, as has been calumniously asserted, though they are no longer willing to be the tools of foreigners and tyrants. The chiefs of the uew expedition which is going in aid of Garibaldi are Colonels Medici and Cosena. The former has spent almost the whole of his military career as a volunteer and leader of volunteers ' • the latter was brought up in the military school of Naples called the Null:Walla. Medici is from Lomellina, a Piedniontese province. He emigrated when quite young, and went first to Spain, then to America, where he fought for liberty under Garibaldi. In 1848 he collected a band of volunteers, and led them against the Austrians. Then, at the conclusion of the war in Upper Italy, he went to Rome, where he was of great service to Garibaldi in his glorious resistance by which the soldiers of the fratricidal French republic were for two long months kept out of Rome. The French, it must be granted, felt that that war was for a bad cause, and did not fight with the enthusiasm they displayed last year at Magenta and Solferino. Medici was with Garibaldi at Varese and San Ferino, and again showed himself to be a valiant and intell igen t leader of volunteers. Enrico Covens is of a family of Swiss extraction, which has been settled at Naples for three genera tions. His father was a soldier, and be entered the Neapolitan army and followed Pepe to Venice. His military ability is great, and his courage unde niable. The most brilliant action of the defence of Venice was performed by him. When the Porta della Laguna was one night surprised by the enemy, be faced them singlolanded, killed the officer who I commanded then, and gave time for the defenders to core up. Last year General Ulla", his fellow vnshed to take him with him to Tuscany, but he preferred to remain with Garibaldi. With officers of this stamp, and sufficient reinforcements (more than two thousand left here on Wednesday and Saturday last), Garibaldi will have the game in his own hands. I had some conversation yesterday with the officer second in command of the steamer Piemonte, which conveyed Garibaldi to Sicily. "It seems to me like a dream," said he. "In less than a month I have made that wonderful landing, have been present at three fi ghts, the last of which, and a bloody one it was, was in Palermo, and here I am I come back with my mind full of tho things I have seen. I hardly dare to tell them, they appear so astonishing. Garibaldi had a sort of magnetic attraction for me. Though I was half dead with hunger and fatigue, I could not bear that he should see me lagging behind ; and I believe that many were in my case—anxious to fight, but quite tired out, and kept up mainly by the moral influenoe of Garibaldi, who was himself as gay as if on a pleasure trip. It is not true that the Nea politans could have prevented our disembarkation. They did not arrive till we had landed, and were bringing on shore the last munitions. We tramped for three days and three nights, through sun and rain, and in this wearied-out state we gave battle at Calatarimi. I believe that we conquered through sheer desperation ; for we gave ourselves up for dead. Luckily for us, the Neapolitan soldiers began to fire before we were within range, while we did not respond except by a stray shot or so. We descended into the valley that lay between us, ran up the other slope, and, when close, fired into them. By this time they had used up all their cartridges ; but as we were only about 15 paces apart, and they were on higher ground, they tried the effect of throwing at us the large stones which were litfplentifully about. One of these stones struck baldi on the arm, whereupon we shouted and charged with the bayonet, and they broke and ran away. At that moment we forgot hunger and fatigue, and overtook and killed some of the fugitives. Half an hour afterwards, however, we felt half dead again, and it would have been all up with us if a fresh body had attacked us. Instead ' of this fortunately we received accessions of men and provisions from all parts, people ',having begun to believe in the revolution, and to think there was a chance of our doing something. Since that day, having rested • little, we have fought here and there, or manceuvred in order to second the movements of other bands, which the general alone was acquainted with. I saw Schiaffino, who had imprudently advanced too far, die like a hero. I saw Pilo fall dangerously wounded, and by this time he must be dead. I saw Carini, such a dandy in Paris, fighting like a lion, and exciting the admiration of all. Bixio, as usual, acted like a desperate fellow, who does not know what danger is. All these allant men were wounded by the time we took Palermo." Here the narrator was interrupted by the ques tion—But how did this fight go, what movements did Garibaldi make I "I can tell very little about it stall," he replied, " for alll saw was the point of my bayonet and that of some enemy, and all I heard was the thunder of the artillery round about me. I know that Gari baldi sent away the guns and a few squadrons to another spot, saying that if the enemy wanted to take those guns we should in the mean time take Palermo, and so we did ; but it still seems to me an impossibility. Not one of us had more than seven cartridges in his pouch. The Sicilians had nothing but fowling-pieces with out bayonets ; they had pikes, a few pistols, and some hand-grenades. But they fought like devils, urged on by the women, some of whom fought at their side. Then the desertions began, and the officers, being left alone, said they were well pleased to be made prisoners of." One of the vessels that left here the other day for Sicily is an American clipper. The two steamers of the expedition that followed the clipper were purchased at Marseilles and rechristened, being now called the Franklin and the Washington. Here the party suspicious of and hostile to Eng land are crying out furiously about the occupation of Fort Castellamare by your admiral, as reported here, for guaranteeing the faithful carrying out of the capitulation. They smell treason in the act, and it is said that the Neapolitan minister is encou raging their suspicions. SICILY. be Court.

The Secretary of State, F. CUSH. Alcamo, May 17, 1860. ITALY AND VICTOR 1311IANVEL. Joseph Garibaldi, commander4n-chief, tee., decrees I. In every free commune of Sicily the municipality will have to ascertain the state of the loud treasuries, and what sums are there. A report of the same, signed by the muni cipal chief, the treasurer, and municipal chancellor, will have to be drawn up. 11.

In the communes occupied by the enemy's forces every citizen is bound to refuse to the Bourbotuc govern• meet payment of the taxes, which taxes from this day henceforth belong to the nation. • . . . . . . The Dictator GARIBALDI. The Secretary of State FRANCESCO CRISPI. Alcamo, May 19, 1860. The following is a paseage from a letter written on the 4th of June at Palermo, and published in the Moviniento : This city, as I have already told you, has suffered im mense damage from the bombardment. All the houses oc cupied by the ro yali sts ,before they retreated into the forts and the royal palace have been burned, and the families living in them ruthlessly murdered. In the convent of the Benedictines have been found seventy dismembered and half carbonised corpses of citizens who had taken refuge there. The royalists have committed barbarities so hor rible that I cannot make up my mind to describe them. The English in this roadstead evince much sympathy for the cause. Since Garibaldi's interviews with General Lanza they have been eloquent in praise of Garibaldi and his legion. A letter of the 9th inst., from Genoa, to the Si/c/e, says : The Messina mail-boat has brought, besides the letters, the following document, printed at Palermo : 70 THE raiz COM KUNIO OF WILT. The Commandant-General d the Guerilleroe. From the camp of Gibilroass, destined to the glorious purpose of serving as the basis of operations against the capital, the fortune of arms, excited by the valour of our continental brothers, led us by a nocturnal march, at day. break on the 27th of May, victorious into Palermo. A final blow still remains for the completion of the vic. tory. The three days of truce asked for ought to be em. ployed by us in increasing the national forces, in making a fitter organisation for the solemn moment. Armed citizens of the insurgent provinces fly hither at our patriotic call to destroy or drive out, and promptly, from our lands the hordes of the Bourbon. At the invita tion, which, after a forced silence of twelve years, was addressed to you by ample patriots from the mountains of Roccamena and Gibilrossa, in three days you have occupied the designated heights with more than 4,000 combatants. Now, at the invitation to achieve the gigantic enterprise commenced under the formidable iegis of the hero of Varese, send also to the support of the country your eons, who are the sous of Italy. In the quarters that we shall open for their gathering, which will be administered and directed by persons known for their love of country and patriotic sentiments, our sue rilleroe will find organisation and discipline, and in the fights suitable military command and support. Oh, brothers, these three days ought to dig the grave of the Bourbonic dynasty, and of brute force. To arms then, and magnanimous deeds will crown your promises. Long live Italy! Long live Victor Emmanuel 11. ! Palermo, May 31, 1860. C. LA MASA. GARIBALDI AND THE CONTINENTAL PRESS, It is amusing to compare the various epithets applied to Garibaldi by the foreign journals ; we take the following as specimen: Gazetra di Napoli. —The monster, in human shape, Garibaldi by name, has had the audacity to attack at the head of a band of murderers the dominions of his Majesty the King of Naples. It is needless to add that measures are taken by the government to capture him, when he will be justly punished for his rash and lawless undertaking. Gazetta di Roma.—The Antichrist, for it is impossible to give a person possessed of the Devil any other appellation, has dared to approach the west of Sicily, and effected • landing with the assistance of the godless and heretic English. Munich Volkablatt.—The bandit Garibaldi is about to continue his wicked and bloody trade of human murderer in the happy and peaceful island of Sicily, but the Divine Yen. geance will not fail to overtake him speedily. Vienna Gazdte.—The professional rebel hopes to con. tine his former calling in Sicily, but he will be grievously disappointed, and his disgraceful attempt frustrated, by the courage and loyalty of the brave troops of the King of the Two Sicilia'. Leipziger Zeitung.—The pirate Garibaldi is of course acting by the orders of the King of Sardinia. Berlin Kreutz-Zeitung.—The adventurer Garibaldi will 110.1 n find that his lawless career has come to an untimely sod. Cassel Zeitung.—The parvenu Garibaldi, nut content with having kindled the flames of revolution in hie own country, is now about to raise the standard of revolt in the hitherto happy kingdom of Naples. Hamburg Papers. —Genetal Garibaldi is steadily advancing in his bold and dangerous career. . . Gazdta di Bologna .—The heroic eon of Italy, whose name no true Italian can pronounce without the most profound admiration and enthuaisam, is now engaged in the most important campaign of his eventful life. Ptoreece °antic—The redeemer of Italy is about to attack the stronghold of tyranny. Every true Italian heart beats with hope for the success of his sublime undertaking. . . Giornale di Afilano.—The Genius of Italy has at length drawn his sword and thrown away the scabbard to rescue his country from the last remnant of tyranny. Turin Casette.—The Archangel Gabriel has appeared in human shape on earth in the person of Garibaldi, to scatter the last enemies of Italian liberty and bring them to the condign punishment they deserve. Gazrria di Napoli.--(Latest number.)—The 'commander. in.chief of the King's troops iu Sicily has signal a awards,. Lion with his Excellency General Garibaldi at Palermo. To-morrow Colonel Wilson Patten will ask the Firm C,onuniesioner of Works what arrangements have been made since the lamented death of Sir Charles Barry to com plete the Houses of Parliament and the adjacent buildings ; and whether there is any plan left by Sir Charles Barry foe the completion of the whole, on which it is intended to proceed. On the 26th Mr. Couolly will more "That this house, having regent to certain appointments made by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is of opinion that fitness bas not been primarily considered in these appointments. That this house is further of opinion that the incautious and inconsiderate use of the prerogative of the crown is preju dicial to the public service." Mr. Maguire intends, on Monday next, to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether any notice has been taken of a statement made in the Sanuders' Newsletter of the sth of June, to the following effect :—" We under stand that our excellent Viceroy has subscribed to thia Garibaldi Fund now being raised in this country. The lists are kept secret,"&c. And, whether the statement is true that the representative of the British crown in Ireland has per sonally contributed, either secretly or publicly, towards such fund. A ilircr TO MR. HORACZ MANS.—I don't be lieve a word of the lte•iatrar-General's return. I have no kind of coutidence in those census paper. which are occa sionally distributed at our houses. In point of fact, when I know how the cook and housemaid at Gamma-lodge set the laws of their country at defiance upon the occasion of the last remind, and yet have not been sent to Nmegate or the Tower, neither has the Attorney-General dune anything to their prejudice in an ex officio way, how ta it possible to have coutidence on more critical points ` Cook is 57 years of age, if she is a day ; she represented herself as 26. Betty is a Particular Baptist, but returned herself as a member of the Establisbnient, because she considered it more genteel.—Once a Week. I f 'V
