ZORD PALMERSTON AT SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The ceremony of inaugurating the Hartley Insti tution was performed to-day with great eclat by Viscount Palmerston. The Mayor of Southampton, Mr. T. Perkins, and the Corporation assembled at the Guildhall at noon to-day, and from thence proceeded to the Second Common Gate, the boundary of the borough, for the purpose of meeting Lord Palmerston, who drove over from Broadlands, accompanied by Lady Pal merston. A large body of the inhabitants also as- sembled at this point to welcome his lordship, who was greeted with the warmest enthusiasm. A pro cession was then marshalled. Upon entering the hall Lord and Lady Palmerston were again received with every demonstration of cordiality. The whole body of spectators rose and greeted them with cheers, waving of hats and hand kerchiefs, again and again renewed. When silence was restored, the Town Clerk (Mr. Deacon) advanced and read an address voted to Lord Palmerston by the corporation. Lord PALMERSTON, who was received with cheer ing, said,—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the corpo ration, I beg to return you my most sincere and hearty thanks for the address which you have just had the kindness to present to me ; and I beg also to thank the town for that which you have not in appropriately described a hearty welcome ; for a man must indeed be insensible to the manifestation of kindness and goodwill on the part of his fellow countrymen who would not be deeply touched by the hearty reception which I and Lady Palmerston have met with this morning. (Cheers.) It has given me great satisfaction to be enable to assist at the may well call great institu opening of this, which I tion, of whose corner-stone I was, allowed some time ago to lay the foundation. I trust that it will long continue well to perform those useful and important services which it is destined to fulfil. (Cheers.) You have been pleased, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, to advert to the services which in my official capacity during the course of my public life it has been my lot to perform. It is an easy matter in this great country for public men to devote their energies and their time and such abilities as Providence may have bestowed upon them in the service of the country, because there is no country on the face of the earth in which the people are more disposed to give a kind and generous consideration to the labours of those who, according to best of their judgment, and with an honest desire to serve their country, devote them selves to the public service. (Cheers.) It is gratify ing to me to find that any special services which I may have been instrumental in performing have been kindly appreciated by the great community of this town, and it is still more gratifying that, inde pendent of public considerations, I should receive from friends and neighbours the goodwill which has been expressed in this address towards me. I have had the advantage not merely of being your neighbour, but I have had the advantage of representing that portion of the county of which you, gentlemen, are so prominent and distinguished a portion. (Cheers.) It is to me, therefore, doubly gratifying, both on public and on private considerations, to receive from you, Mr. Mayor, and from the Corporation of this town, that testimony of approval and goodwill which is contained in the address which you have just presented to me. I beg to return you again my best thanks, and to assure you that there can be no greater encouragement to industry and exertion on the part of public men who are engaged in pub lic life than the knowledge that their endeavours will be appreciated—that their actions will be kindly conF.sidered—and that if they do honestly and sincerely their best to serve their country, both in its interests at home and its character and dig nity abroad, their exertions will be met by those marks of approbation which it has been my good fortune to receive at your hands this day. (Loud cherirs.) The Bishop of ROCHESTER then offered up an ap propriate prayer, in which he invoked a blessing upon the institution. The International Ode was next sung, after which 1 The MA/Olt rose, and addressing Lord Palmer. ston, observed that, having just had the privilege of presenting to his lordship an address voted by the corporation of the town, he now wished to re quest him, in the name of education and science, to confer an additional honour upon the town of South ampton by inaugurating the opening of the institu tion. (Cheers.) Lord PALMERSTON, who on rising was received with renewed cheering and .waving of hats and handkerchiefs, said—Mr. Mayor and Ladies and Gentlemen, I can assure you that I feel that, if honour there be on one side or the other, the honour has been conferred on me by being allowed to be present on this interesting occasion. It is inte resting to me, because having been permitted to assist, I may say, at the christening of this child—(laughter)—l am now present at its confir mation. (Cheers.) I trust its future life will be prosperous to itself, and will be an honour to the community to which it belongs ; that it will be an honour and an advantage to the country. The peo ple of Southampton are a great, flourishing, and prosperous community. You have a port admira bly adapted to the purposes of commerce. You have docks fitted to receive a larger vessel than even her Majesty's dockyards can at present hold. That superiority on your part, I trust, will be of very short life. You will permit me without offence to say so. (Hear.) You have an increasing popula tion ; you have all the elements of worldly wealth; but hitherto you have wanted that which is the com pletion of that state of existence, you have wanted an institution like this, where knowledge, where science, literature, and art will be cultivated as much as commercial progress in your town. That want is now supp'ied, and with the supplying of that want will go hand in hand to increase not only of your welfare but of your power ; for it is well said, ald must be felt by all, that " knowledge in power." Not power simply in a community, but power in every individual member of that community by whom that knowledge is ac quired. We have only to look around us in this great country to see examples of men rising from comparatively humble origin to great wealth, to high dignities, and to high employments in the State, and bow ? Why, by the cultivation of mind, by the knowledge which they have acquired, and by the application o f th a t k now l e d ge t o th e b us i ness o f lif e in which they may have engaged. Your courts of law,your Parliament, your manufacturing communi ties, all a b ound themselves an d with ' men rising to distinction for performing great service to the coun try, "initentirelyto the cultivation of those talents with which P r ovidence a t th e i r bi r th h as en d owe d t a n d e v m ant T a h g e e r d f by e I tt :a7, that this town will greatly be knowledge will be institution like this, in which choose to come and 7 1 . 7 communicated to all who opportunities will be u dr ink at the fountain; where ledge of every sort and kix 7l d ed to cultivate know talenta and worldly ,adapted to the natural seeking it. But knowledge, occu pat ion or those who are is not simply a source of lad iespower.v:.'d gentlemen, the love of power is a passion dul y i mplanted may say that lead to a human mind; but that it may someti mes e m ti p l anted in the Credit of course which may not redound to ra t e : knowlede those who pursue it. But always a source of power. It is a source is not purest enjoyment to those wh o peseta of the there is a natural tendency, happily, it, and 11 the human mind to pursue knowledge. it is enough for a man to have gained knowledge to i n d uce him to go on learning, and every fresh addition which he acquires to the knowledge he has ga i ned is an additional source of pleasure and happiness to him, as well as a n additional element of good con duct in the caree r which he pursues. The love of he love of ac cumulation, is a natural acquisition, t nd. When a man beins instinct in the human mi r s atisfied without having to collect books, he is neve ldThe man who col more than his house will ho . lects medals fills all his chests o f drawers with things that perhaps he may never look at. The man who collects pictures has his walls covere d with the best ' specimens of art which he can collect. In the same way, that principle of adding to that wh ich has been begun applies to knowledge as we ll as to everythin g else, and the more a man knows, the more he wishes to learn, and the more he is able to learn, because knowledge of . _ the acquirement of knowledge of another and of a different kind. Well, then, I trust that this insti tution will not only be a source of prosperii y to the town, but will be a source of happiness to the indi vidual members of the community. As to the effect of knowledge upon national interests, y( ur worthy mayor has just now pointed out that the great power, wealth, and prosperity of the country arises from the development of intellect, and from the progress of science, amongst the different members of the com munity. Where should we be if it had not been for the researches of those great men who have given to the country all those resources of mechanical in dustry by which the wealth of the community and the power of the country have been raised to the position which they now fortunately hold ? In this institution you will, no doubt, have young men who here will acquire that knowledge and cultivate those talents which will not only raise them to a high position in the country of which they are members, but will add materially to the wealth, prosperity, happiness, and power of the country in which they have been born. You, Mr. Mayor, have called this building a temple. It is, no doubt to use classical language, a temple to the Muses—a temple dedicated to purposes more congenial to the state of religion which happily prevails. It may be deemed to be not only a temple of the Muses, but a temple also for the improvement of religious feeling amongst the people of this country. Some persons, in other times and countries, have held the doctrine that the knowledge and the cultivation of science were incompatible with true religion. There cannot possibly be a greater error and mistake than that. (Hear, hear.) Suppose an ignorant man takes up a watch—suppose him to look at a steam engine —he will naturally imagine that the watch of its own accord tells him what is o'clock—that the steam-engine twists all those spindles which he sees revolving. He will never think how it is done. He will be content with the results. He will have no notion in his mind of the degree of talent which must have been required on the part of those who made those things. He will have no idea of the wonderful mechanism even by which these out ward movements have been produced. He will be content with results, without thinking of causes. But show him that ingenious mechanism which makes the hands move following the sun. Tell him of that wonderful contrivance by which the steam engine is worked, and then he will transfer to the maker of the one and to the author of the other those feelings of admiration which had not previously existed in his mind. In the same way, gentlemen, the igno rant man sees day and night succeed each other; he sees the seasons succeed each other ; he sees the seed he has put into the ground rise into a profit able crop ; he sees all the operations of nature, and it never occurs to him to consider how all these wonderful operations are brought about, nor by what power they originate. He is conscious of his own existence ; he feels his body healthy or sickly, as it may be; he feels hunger come at one time and thirst at another, and knows how to satiate both, but he is utterly ignorant of what a wonderful mechanism he himself is, and his mind has not been brought to that source from whence that won derful mechanism has arisen ; but when know ledge enlightens his mind, and when he sees the wonderful effects and contrivances of that Almighty Power by which these results have been brought about, I say he must be a strangely consti tuted being indeed if the feelings of religion are not more strong in his mind, and if the knowledge which he thus acquires of all the wonderful laws and contrivances of what we call nature do not raise his mind to the Author of all these things, and implant in his mind a feeling of religious awe and veneration which strengthens these precepts which he may have received from his religious instruc tors. I say, therefore, that this is not simply a temple of the Muses, but it will turn out a temple of those studies which tend to exercise and strengthen the religious feelings of those who come within its walls. I would only say, therefore, that I hope and trust this institution will long prosper, and that it will attain the end for which it has been founded. (Cheers.) Now there are different ways by which knowledge may be acquired. Some contend that knowledge, to be deeply engraven in the human mind, must be acquired by patient in vestigation —must be worked out by the individual himself. No doubt that is the best way to engrave knowledge on the mind of the man by whom it is attained; but the pursuits of life prevent all but a very few from following that course. It is for those whose time is occupied in other pursuits that institutions of this kind are particularly valuable, You will have here men learned in different walks of science, who will come and give you in a lucid, plain, and intelligent manner the results of those long and laborious studies, of those patient and long contkpued investigations,by which they have arrived at their conclusions. Those conclusions may, per haps, not be so firmly impressed upon the minds of their hearers as on their own understandings; but still much will be learnt, and it would be as idle and vain to say that much useful knowledge is not to be gained by those lectures which will be, I trust, delivered within these walls, as to say a man cannot learn geography by maps, but must go over and survey the country himself. It would be idle to say that a man cannot acquire a deeply-rooted , knowledge by listening to the discourses of those who have worked out results, although he might not be able to follow them in all those intricate ridges into which they got before they arrived at those useful results. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I congratulate you most sincerely on having, in your town, an institution of this character. lam per suaded that all who can derive benefit, but more especially the younger part of the community, will take every possible advantage of it, and that it will tend not only to the prosperity of your town, bat also to raise the minds of all who come within its walls to a higher scope of intelligence, by develop ing those talents with which Providence has en dowed them, and by fitting them better than they otherwise would have been fitted to follow advan tageously those different careers of life to which their fortunes, their talents, and dispositions may lead them to devote themselves. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman BLATCH, chairman of the council of the institution, thanked his lordship in the name of the corporation, the council of the institution, and the town, for attending to open the institution, an act which, he said, would long be cherished in Lord Palm ers t on to the T h m e e m m o A r y y o o ß f t t h h e e n i c n a h l a l e b d i t upon formally open the building. Lord PALMERSTON then came forward, in the midst of great applause,;C i l th sa y id o : u — r :—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen_ Mr. Mayor, I will proceed to state a fact—l would hardly venture to make a prophecy—tha t heers.) Ifl this institution is now fully open. ( c were to presume to take on m yself the tgifth e of f success pro - phecy it would be difficult to for etell which, I trust, will await its future caree r. But I now declare that the institution is now, un der the auspices of the mayor, fully and completely open. This announcement was followed by enthusiastic applause. The proceedings terminated with three cheers re spectively for Lord Palmerston, Lady Palmerston, the Institution, and the Mayor. THE DINNER. At the dinner given by the Mayor, among those present, in addition to the noble Premier, were the Bishop of Rochester, the Earl of Hardwicke, Col. Sir Henry James, Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis, the the Right Hon. W. Cowper, M.P., Mr. W. Digby Seymour, M.P., Prof essor O wen, & c. respo n di ng to the toast of '• Her Majesty's Mi nisters," Lord PALMERSTON said —For myself, and in the n ai a n m ee e r o e f and re y cordialcolleagues I beg to return y ou m y most done us in driokin tht:nks f or th e h onour you have the lest toast ; an d I on l y re gret that some rho rtl colleagues occasion, to shou l d not see the manly an d enli il have been p resent on o f thy interesting people of this tow n are animated the in a matter of otb lie interest, and so conducive to the general welfar e of all those who are concer ned in the institution we have this day seen opened. I can assure you, gen i tlemen, that her Majesty's Ministers are deeply sen sible of the great importance of encourging, by all means within their reach, the diffusion - - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING}, OGrOBER, 16, 186 g. It of h ed a u s cat b i e o e n n within the U de n s i i t r e e d th K a i t ngd ed om u: cation should be based upon a useful pr i nciple; our anxious that it should in every class tend to discipline and instruct the minds of those to whom it is ad ministered, in such a manner as to render them, during the rest of their lives, not only useful mem bers of the community, but also able artificers of their own fortunes. I may say, too, speaking in a town which is remarkable for its prosperity—l may say that it has been the constant object of her Ma jesty's Government, and I will not take credit in that respect simply for those who now administer the affairs of the country, but it has been the con stant object for a long time past of all who have been responsible for the management of national affairs, to free the action of industry and commerce I from all those shackles which the less enlightened Legislature of former periods had thought beneficial to be imposed upon it. It was thought in times gone by, that although nobody would have taught a man to dance in fetters, it was useful for him to trade in fetters, and that the more industry and , commerce were shackled by what were called pro tective legislation, the less free men were to employ their industry and their capital in the manner which might appear to them to be the best, the more would the prosperity of the country thrive. I re member that a foreigner, who is thought to be a great theoretical philosopher, admitting that Eng land prospered the more since the freedom of com merce had been established, said, " Aye, it is true, but you have been enabled to render commerce free by the prosperity which you have maintained under the shackles beneath which your industry has la boured ; and therefore your example is not one to be followed by other countries. We must wait till we have grown rich by impediments and obstruc tions before we can be willing to grow richer by having our limbs and our intellects rendered free." I say, then, that I think that corporate body, I will call them, of public men, who from time to time have been called upon to incur the responsibility of conducting the affairs of the country, are entitled to the approbation of their countrymen for many other reasons, but for two particular topics which will most likely be valued and appreciated by the assembly lam now addressing. First, by their anxiety to diffuse, as far as possible, among the people of the realm the blessings of enlighten ment and education, and by their constant endea vours to free industry and capital from those impe diments and shackles which oppressed this nation in former periods. The Earl of HARDWICKE, in responding to the toast of the House of Lords, expressed his satisfac tion at the discretion which, up to this moment, her Majesty's Ministers had displayed in the policy of non-intervention they had adopted in the interne cine struggle in America. He also expressed ap proval of the sentiment enunciated by Mr. Glad stone in his recent visit to the North, that Jeff. Davis had succeeded in forming in the Southern States a great and independent nation. (Great cheering and one or two marks of disapprobation.) Alluding to the topic of education, the noble lord praised in warm terms the efforts which had been made to promote that cause, urging that the steps which had been taken in that direction had done more for the general advancement and well-being of the people than any extension of the elective franchise could have done. The Mayor of SOUTHAMPTON, in proposing the health of Lord Palmerston, highly eulogised the services which the noble lord had rendered to the country during the last 60 years, and declared his strong conviction that so long as the interests of England were entrusted to his guidance, there could be no fear that the ship would not weather any storm it might have to encounter. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. Lord PALMERSTON, in acknowledging the toast, after a few preliminary observations, proceeded as follows :—With regard to those particular public transactions to which my worthy friend, the Mayor, has alluded, I can take no peculiar merit to myself individually. I have acknowledged, in combination with public men of the highest order, that no great national effort—whether it be for internal improve ment, whether it be for national defence, or whether it be for the assertion of national dignity and honour —can be accomplished by any one single man. It requires a combination of ability, energy, integrity, and skill; and that combination must be found in the members of the Government ; in the first place, in the departments of the State ; in the next place, in the two services of the army and the navy; and in the last place, their combined action must be supported and confirmed by the voices of the representatives of the people in Parliament, and by the unanimous feeling of the British nation at large. (Hear, hear.) These are the conditions upon which alone a successful Administration can be car ried an, and I trust that these conditions have been fulfilled in the transactions to which the Mayor has referred. I can assure you, that so long as we have the honour of receiving the confidence of Parliament and our sovereign, backed by the goodwill and the confidence of the country, we shall be encouraged by the support which we have hitherto received to pursue that course which in our honest and sincere conscien4s we may think best calculated to pro mote the interests of the country. If we cast aside all those political sarcasms which parties bandy against each other from time to time, I am perfectly convinced that no Administration, whether it is ours or that to which my noble friend belonged, and and which may succeed us—that no Administration of this country can continue for any time, however short, that does not act on this principle. I have that high opinion of the public men of this country to feel that, from whatever side of the house they may come, they will act on this principle, and will deserve, as long as they may hold office, the confi dence and support of the country. I would only, in conclusion, relieve the mind of my noble friend (Lord Hardwicke) from any apprehension that, by some peculiar construction of the toast in which he joined (" Her Majesty's Ministers "), be may have expressed something like a want of allegiance to the party to which he belongs. (Laughter.) Let me assure him that, verbally, critically, and logi cally, the toast which he drank was perfectly con sistent with the views which he afterwards ex pressed. He drank the health of her Majesty's Ministers. Now every man, let him be ever so I little conversant with medicallscience, will know that the health of man is best promoted by country air —(laughter)—by rural sports, by an abundance of exercise, by the absence of care and relief from labour—(laughter) —and, th ere f ore , i n drink ing the h ea lth o f h er Ma j esty ' s Ministers critically, literally, and logically, my nobl e f r i en d w i s h e d that health none of which eh political we might as early as possible be placed in the s position which would be most conducive to that e wis f h r e i d e n u d s 4 , t o howeverenjoy; be to draw nice distinctions, who . wo a u ap i n d td . tth r h e ee p yr . r e o m a aa c ry h e a g sh test p h os e e siLt a i n on d . him in the slightesit),reegrede for having joined in the w toast ith u w t h t i h c he slightest and cheers.)

GARIBALDI AND 711 E ROMAN QUES7ION. On Tuesday evening a Town Meeting, called on a requisition addressed to the Mayor, was held in the large room, Town-hall, Brighton. Its object was to express sympathy with Garibaldi and to pro test against the further prolongation of the French occupation of Rome. The Mayor took the chair, and was supported by W. Coningham, Esq., M.P., James White, Esq., M.P., Aldermen Cox and Cobb, Mr. Hooper, Signor Martinucci, Mr. J. Dixon, &c. The Town Clerk having read the notice conven ing the meeting, The MAYOR opened the proceedings. He said that in compliance with a requisition signed by our worthy representatives and a very numerous body of fellow townsmen he had called this meeting. He had been censured by many of his friends for doing so, yet, although he had seen the refusal of the Lord Mayor to call a similar meeting, he did not think that applicable to Brighton, or that he ought to refuse the request of such a number of requisi tionists as those whose names were then before him. In common, he might almost say, with every Englishman, he had rejoiced with the great and noble Garibaldi in his successes, and now he, also in common with his brother Englishmen, sympa thised most deeply with Garibaldi in his present condition. He thought the great error Garibaldi made was in catching at the pear before it was ripe. He thought he should be agreed with when he said that if the Italians were only true to them selves Rome would as surely fall in due time into their hands as a pear would when ripe fall to the ground. (Applause.) _ Mr. HoOPER, chemist, moved, in a speech of some length, the first resolution, to the effect that the " meeting desired to express its deepest sympathy with the Italian patriot, Gen. Garibaldi, and recog nised him as the representative of the national de sires of the Italian people." He was sure the call ing of this meeting would place the mayor on a higher ground of esteem with the inhabitants of this town. He thought their motto would be " A free man and a free nation ; Garibaldi for Italy and Italy for the Italians." Signor MARTINUCCI seconded the resolution with the greatest pleasure. Carried unanimously. Alderman Cox moved the next resolution, to the effect that in the opinion of the meeting the French occupation of Rome, now maintained for fourteen years past, is a violation of the pledge given to Eng land by the French Government in 1849, who then declared that the occupation should be of short duration, that it is a breach of the policy of non-in teivention, and that it is a constant source of danger to the peace of Europe. Dr. RUGE seconded, in a well-argued speech. W. CONINGHAM, Esq.. M.P., on rising to speak to the resolution, was received with loud cheers again and again taken up. He said he had been travelling since nine o'clock in the morning in order to attend the meeting, and he took the earliest op - portunity which presented itself of congratulatin g the mayor on the courage he had shown in not following what appeared to him to be the very bad example set in the metropolis—(cheers)---the refusa 1 to call, a public meeting of free-born Englishmen to discuss those political questions which affect them selves and their interests. He thought it was very desirable this meeting should be held in order to vindicate the right of public meeting in this coun try. (Cheers.) Referring to the warm support he had always given to the Anglo-French alliance, he also ventured to think that the debt owed by the Italians to Joseph Mazzini and to Garibaldi should be shared with the conqueror of Magento and Sol ferino. But, be ventured to tell the Emperor of the French that if he meant to continue to be tole rated by the great European. Liberal party, he must remove his troops from Rome. (Cheers.) After a reference to the end of the first Napoleon, Mr. Coningham went on to tell the present Emperor that if he continued the direct supporter of the in carnate lie which presides over the destinies of the Roman people, his legions, numerous though they be, and armed as they are with weapons of the longest range,—that he, and they, and the Papal party he seeks to uphold will be hurled into ever lasting chaos. (Loud cheers.) It was high time that Englishmen should stand forth to declare their entire confidence in the great principle that the affairs of men are guided by an eternal, a retribu tive justice, that the world was not in reality go verned by diplomatic hocus-pocus—(laughter)—and ecclesiastical numbo- jumbo. (Cheers and laughter.) Was it not high time to do this when we saw one of our foremost men, a Cabinet Minister, dare to come forward and express his sympathies with the slave-drivers of the Southern States. He ventured to tell the right hon. gentleman that in Brighton, at all events, and in its representatives, he would find no echo to his miserable—(great cheering, in which the remainder of the sentence was lost.) Whatever might be the faults of the Northern States, there was one principle by which the hon. speaker stood, that he could have no sympathy with those who would make the foundation of their republic the enslavement of man by man. (Loud cheers.) Garibaldi had shown himself to be a man almost without a parallel. The only one with whom he could be compared—the hon. speaker did not know whether or not the comparison had been previously made—was the old Roman Dentatus, who preferred his own earthen vessels and humble poverty to the gold and silver vessels of the Sam nites. Garibaldi stood forward to fight for great principles, and for him and such as him there was no peace or rest as long as despotism exists or liberty remains to be conquered. He would not say that misfortune had overtaken Garibaldi, it was only a temporary want of success. (Cheers.) He rejoiced to see the spirit which animated this meet- ing. He believed he had expressed the feeling of this large and important town and constituency when he said their warmest sympathies were with Garibaldi. He would not detain them longer on the present occasion, as his excellent colleague would follow. He had great pleasure in meeting Mr. White on this platform after their rather tedious hours in the House of Commons, where, he was happy to say, they had co-operated in the most satisfactory manner. (Hear, hear, from Mr. White.) As they had always held the same principles they had never found any difficulty in uniting to uphold that principle whi ch is dear to every English.. man, the right of every nation to govern itself. (Loud cheers.) JAMES WHITE, Esq., M.P., said he had come here expecting to be an auditor rather than a speaker, still, after the appeal made by his friend, he took the opportunity of assuring them that he still held the same fervent faith and consistent prin ciples with regard to foreign and domestic politics which secured him their approval. Personally, and from family ties, he could not but take a very deep and most lively interest in the future of Italy. He could not but reiterate the admirable observa tion of the first speaker, that we all had occasion to bless God for the existence of such a man as Gari baldi. He was often told that Garibaldi might have drawn out a national expression of opinion from the Italians instead of following the course he had done ; but in a country like Italy,just emerging as it is from a revolution which inflicted pangs of which we have but a faint conception, it is not sur prising that the people should be stung almost to madness by the sense of the position in which Rome now stands. Therefore, with every confidence in Garibaldi's character, he said his was a noble mis take, a glorious error, a sublime inprudence. (Loud cheers.) Whatever cold, calculating politi cians might say, it was certain that Garibaldi had done good to the cause, and he (Mr. White) ques tioned whether in the brightest days of his tr ium p hs Garibaldi had more se rve d the cause of liberty than he does s t r i c k en an d woun d e d as he no w lies at Varignano. (Loud c h eers .) Public attentio n has now been so m uc h di recte d to G ar ib a ldi, and, of co urse, to the mighty cause in which he served , that it was say not too much to that a mighty , i ndi g nant burst of p rotest from free men t h ro ughout the length and breadth of Europe would be the result, and that even th e i ron-hearte d Emperor himself will begin to quail b efore that t e mpest of wrath which is in prepa ra ti on, an d w hich will sooner or later be heaped on his devoted head, unless justice be done. (Loud cheers.) A Mr. WOODWARD and a gentleman who gave the name of Pi MBERTON HoDSON followed in the same line of argument, and were loudly cheered by the meeting. Alderman Cox then read the memorial, and pro posed that it be presented to Earl Russell—praying him to use his best influence to obtain the evacua tion of Rome by the French troops. Mr. MATTHEWS having seconded, in a somewhat lengthy speech, the Mayor put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chair, proposed by Mr. CONINGHAM and seconded by Mr. WHITE, brought the meeting to a close shortly before nine o'clock. ALLEGED WIFE MURDER IN SHORE- DITCH. An inquiry was held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, at the Suf folk Arms Tavern, Boston-street, Hackney-road, on Tuesday, respecting the death of Mary Anne Jones, aged 22. The case excited considerable excitement in the neighbourhood, in consequence of rumours that the deceased lost her life through violence in flicted by her husband, and crowds congregated in the street where the inquiry was held. Mrs. Martha Turner said deceased was her daugh ter, and resided with her husband, a hawker, at No. 65, Boston-street. She was a delicate young woman, and very jealous and bad tempered. She died on Friday last. She had a black eye, end she told witness on last Wednesday week that she had had a quarrel with her husband about a curtain, and that she fell against a door, and blackened her eye. She had to go to the doctor. Cross-examined—Her husband might have pushed her. Mrs. Mary Ann Dyer, 65, Boston-street, said that she heard the deceased and her husband quarrelling some time since. Deceased told witness that she received her black eye by being pushed against a door by her husband. Deceased complained to wit ness of her head and chest. Witness never saw her husband strike her. He was a kind man. Mrs. Alice Frost, who resided next door to the deceased, said deceased was a very nice young woman, and had not a bad temper. On the night of last Tuesday week witness was awoke by loud screams, and cries of " Murder." The cries con tinued for a quarter of an hour. The next morning she was informed that it was Mrs. Jones who had been screaming. Mr. E. Pitt, 111.11.C.5., Hackney -road, said that deceased called on him complaining of suffering in her head and chest. She had a black eye. She had inflammation of the membranes of the brain. The post-mortem examination showed the immediate cause of death to have been the inflammation of the membranes of the brain. The cavity of the chest was partly filled with fluid. By the Jury—The inflammation of the brain might have been produced by a blow, but there was no proof that it had. Margaret Bell, boot machinist, said that she re sided at 25, Boston-street. On Tuesday week she and her sister were awoke by a fearful noise in ttte street. There were screams of " Police and Mur der." Witness went to the window and saw Mrs. Jones outside her own door and her husband on the threshold, He struck deceased violently with his clenched fist eight or nine times. She cried out, " Oh, don't kill me ! You are murdering me! Don't strike my head." The husband went in and shut the door. Deceased went to the door and called out to her servant girl, " Mary, give me the baby. I will make away with myself, and trouble you no more." The whole disturbance appeared to have lasted a long time. The next morning witness saw that Mrs. Jones's eye was very black and bruised. Clara Bell said that she was alarmed by the dis turbance described by last witness. She saw Mr. Jones strike his wife a dozen times with force enough to kill a woman. He knocked her down. The row was so great that several persons came to their windows. It occurred between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Baily, stepfather of the accused, said that he could produce evidence to contradict the last two witnesses, and called Mrs. Martha Beaumont, who said that she heard a quarrel between Mr. Jones and his wife about three weeks or a month ago. He pulled her into the house by the sleeve, but did not strike her. It was about eleven o'clock at night. A Juror remarked that witness might be alluding to a different occurrence. The court was then cleared, and after an hour and a halt's deliberation an adjournment was de cided upon by the jury for the production of further evidence. The Court accordingly adjourned. THE ALLEGED PROFLIGACY IN A WORKHOUSE. OFFICIAL INQUIRY. Yesterday morning Mr. R. B. Cane, one of the Poor-law inspectors, resumed thP investigation into the charges against Mr. Theobald Meyrick, the master of the Bethnal-green Workhouse, in the board-room of that union, Waterloo-road, Victoria park. Mr. Angel, solicitor, represented Mr. Onion and the other memorialists who had procured the in quiry ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared on behalf of Mr. Meyrick. The case of Sarah A nne Sioith was resumed. Mr. Cane, on taking his seat, said that he him self wished to call the medical officer' of the work house. Dr. Smart, medical officer to the Bethnat.bareen Workhouse, said—l produce the medical relief bok.'.k of the establishment. By that book I find that Sarah Anne Skinner was admitted to the infirmary on the 20th of April, 1861, for a contused knee. I do not recollect the particular case of Skinner, but from the fact of the entry being " A contused knee," I infer that the case was not one of a " housemaid's knee," but that the injury arose from direct violence. I do not recollect what account she gave me about her knee. The entry is not in my handwriting, but in that of my assistant, but he may have copied it from my card. She was discharged on the Ist of May. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l cannot say whether it was the right or left knee. Ido not call to mind whether I saw her knee personally at all. By Mr. Cane—ln the ordinary course of my duties I should have seen the knee myself. lam responsible for the accuracy of all entries in the book. I have not a distinct recollection of the case. I am supposed to see every case admitted, and I do not think this case could have remained from the 20th of April to the Ist of May without me seeing it. If the case had been wrongly described in the book I should, by the examination, have detected the inaccuracy and have altered the book. By Mr. Lewis—l do not saj positively that I ever saw the girl's leg. Unless the case was a very remarkable one I should not rem ember it so long. The workhouse books were then produced, and at the request of Mr. Lewis the following dates were taken down :—" March 16, 1861—Sarah Anne Skinner admitted to the house. April 16—Mr. Smyth applied for a servant. 17th--Miss Meyrick removed Skinner to the kitchen. 20th—Skinner entered the Infirmary. 22d—Gibbs left the house. May I—Skinner discharged from the Infirmary. 3d—She left the house and went to Mr. Smyth's as a servant, and June 10 and Sept. 2 she called to see the matron." Mr. Angel requested the entry, " Oct. 24—Mrs. Hickman called to see the master," to be taken do .vn. Mr. Cane, on referring to the entry in question, said that the three first letters of the name in ques tion had been erased, and the letters " Bin" written in, so as to change the name to Binkman. Mr. Angel then tendered Mr. Onion for exami nation. Mr. Joseph Robert Onion, 12, Wilmot-square, was examined by Mr. Cane, and said—l am one of the guardians of the poor in this district. I only know through Mr. Angel, my solicitor, of Mr. Meyrick's taking steps to compromise Skinner's case before the Police-court. On the sth of July I at tended the Police-court, and I hand in a copy of an affiliation summons obtained at the court against Mr. Meyrick. There is a memorandum on the back of it, " Adjourned to the sth of July by mutual con sent, and on that day no attendance." I know no thing of my own knowledge about Mr. Meyrick being the father of Skinner's child. Of my own knowledge I can give no information about Mr. Meyrick's attempting to see the girl in the Mile end Workhouse. Ido not call myself the prosecu tor in this affair. The witness was not cross-examined. Catherine Brown, called by Mr. Cane, sa id that she had been an i nmate of the workhouse for over two years. Sh e remem b ered the g i r l Skinner. Wit ness had to wait upon Miss Broad (incorrectly named Brewer by a previous witness). Witness did not remember meetino• th e girl Skin ner crying on the stairs as sh e was going up to Miss Broad's room. Witness never saw the girl abed he was leaving or about to enter the master's room. She never told witness that the master had taken her into his bed-room and assaulted her, 0 one occasion wit ness Was called up to the master's office, before Mr. Meyri c k , about some indecency. The girl Skinner was not there. Witness was never called there abou t Skinner's case. Mr. Meyrick never said he would punish witness for talking about Skinner and him self. It was false to say so. Cross-examined by Mr. Angel—Witness never spoke to Martha Marshall, before the pantryman Jones, about the girl Skinner. She never told any one about that girl. Witness never spoke about Skinner, except in reference to the charge of inde cency against two officers. That was with reference to the case of Balderson the engineer. Witness was never asked to be a witness, but of course she thought she would have to be one. Miss Broad was the niece of the master. There was a Mrs. Rawdon who visited the house. That was in the daytime She never slept in the house. Witness never said anything affecting Mrs. Rawdon. By Mr. Lewis—Witness used to take the water to the master's room always about seven o'clock in the morning. He used to leave his room about eight o'clock, and witness made the bed about nine o'clock. On Sundays chapel was attended by the master at nine o'clock, and service was over about half-past ten. Witness never saw the master return to his room after the b e d was made up. It was witness's duty to take the water to Miss Broad's room. Skinner was placed in the kitchen on a Wed nesday, and was removed to the infirmary on the following Saturday for a bad knee. She told wit ness her knee got bad through kneeling. About three months after she left the house she called and said to witness that she thought she should have to return to the house again, as she believed she was in the family way by the sweep Gibbs. She asked witness to keep it quiet, and not to tell any one. Skinner told witness that she looked through the keyhole of the insane ward, and saw indecency be tween Balderson and a Mrs. Donne. Witness reported the matter to the master, but when before the master Skinner denied all about the affair_ Mr. Christie, late deputy medical officer to the establishment said—On turning to the medical officer's book, I see the entry about the girl Skinner in my handwriting. Looking at the book I should say most decidedly that she was suffering from a contused knee. Ido not recollect the case. By Mr. Lewis—Contused knee might arise from different causes. I never heard of a contused knee being caused by a housemaid kneeling down sud denly. In such a case the knee would have been inflamed, and the entry would have been " inflamed bursa," and not " contused knee." Mr Keeble Smyth, South Hackney, said that the girl Skinner entered his service from the Bethnal green Workhouse. He got a very good character of her from Mr. Meyrick. She remained with him six or seven months and her character was fully borne out. Mr. Lewis objected to witnesses as to characters of the witnesses being produced. Some discussion arose, and Mr. Cane remarked that it was significant that the master gave the girl a good character at that time. Witness cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The master gave her a good character for the time she was with him. He said she was a respectable girl, and that he always had such girls to clean up his own room. There was no doubt that he said his own room, and not the general rooms. Skinner resided with witness in both his houses. He de clined to say whether they were both licensed houses. Witness did not see the matron about the girl's character. Mr. Angel said that, so far as he was concerned, the case for the prosecution was closed. Stephen Ayles, porter at the Hackney Union house, said that he was formerly porter at the Beth nal-green-house. He remembered the girl Skinner, but never heard anything about her and the master. After she was discharged she came to the house two or three times. He did not recollect her taking a parcel away with her after these visits. By Mr. Lewis—Knew Mr. Morton. Never saw the girl Skinner with him, or going to his office. By Mr. Cane—lt was witness's duty to search any one who was leaving the place and excited his suspicions. His suspicions were not aroused that Skinner was concealing anything. Matthew Jones, pantryman, said that he remem bered Brown had been talking about Skinner and Mr. Meyrick. There was a general report about the house, but witness did not know what it was about. It was that Brown had caught Skinner and Mr. Meyrick in the latter's bed-room. Marshall was removed from the kitchen because she and Brown had been talking about the master. Mr. Thos. Angel, Guildhall-chambers, was called by Mr. Cane, and on being sworn said—l have ap plied for a summons to affiliate a child of Sarah Anne Skinner's, As her attorney I wrote to Mr. Lewis, Mr. Meyrick's attorney, stating that one of the witnesses had been just confined, and with his o nsent the case was adjourned. I never proposed that the matter should be compromised. 1 declined to enter into a compromise unless the money was brought to me to take to the girl. Mr. Fleck brought the money, and I thought it would be more to the girl's interest to take the £2O than trust to what the law would give her. Of my own knowledge I do not know Mr, Meyrick was aware of the com promise. I can only say what Mr. Fleck said. It was Mr. Fleck proposed the compromise. He said, " I suppose you have no feeling in this matter?" I said I had not; and he then said, " Would the girl take £2O ?" I said I thought she ought to have that sum clear. He replied, "If we pay the money will Mr. Onion keep quiet ?" I said, " Mr. Onion has been badly used by the master. If the master kept quier, I should advise Onion to have no more to do with the matter." Mr. Fleck then arranged that Mr. Ashford should see me, and on the Monday following I was brought a cheque for £27, and Fleck and Ashford both said they hoped there would be an end of the matter. I called on Skinner at the Mile-end Workhouse. She accepted the money, and I subsequently paid the Hickmans, and retained £5 for costs, according to agreement. Afterwards the parish took the matter up, and the inquiry was brought about. Mr. Lewis called Miss Anne Broad, who said—l reside near Andover. In March, 1861, I was on a visit to Miss Meyrick, the matron. I occupied a _separate bed-room, and was waited on by the woman 13 , 0 7 n. The girl Skinner never waited on me, nor did any other young woman. I never heard the screams of t: woman in distress while I was in the house. Mr. 11.,t;_,vrick is my uncle. On no Sunday did I hear the voicb of a female in distress near my room. I never heard the name of Skinner men tioned. I have come up from Hampshire on pur pose to give my evidence to-day gel . —l have not spoken Cross-examined by Mr. An to Mr. Meyrick about the case, bt:t I have to Miss Meyrick. I was not in the house before March, 1861. I left on the 17th of April. I only visited the place a second time this summer. My father was a farmer and builder, and is now indepaident. I reside with him at Chute, Andover. I swear that no one waited on me but Brown. John Gibbs said that ho had been an inmate of the workhouse, off and on, for four years. He was the chimney sweeper, and H he had to go about ter, he house every morning. e knew the girl Skinner, and saw her scrubbing about the house. On one day she made a proposal to him. He saw her the next evening in the lavatory of the women's yard, and had connexion with her. The intimacy was re newed the following evening in the same place. After that she was employed in the kitchen for three or four days. She then went into the infir mary. He had connexion with her the 2Uth April. He remembered the date because he went out to join his militia regiment. She asked him to marry her on the last occasion. It was false if she said they had not had any connection. She was a most forward young woman. Cross-examined by Mr. Angel—The connection took place in the second week of March, not before. He had seen her a few times before : he would say as many as four times. Did not recollect the day of the week on which it occurred. He had con nection with two or three other women in the house. It might have been 12 months before Skin ner's affair. He did not think he had had con nection with any woman who was an inmate of the house within the house since Skinner's business. When witness spoke to Skinner other women were about. The woman Marshall saw them leave the lavatory, and made a remark. Several girls be sides Skinner used to chaff witness. The lavatory was indicated by witness, and Skinner walked there. Witness climbed a gate six feet high to get there. Could not say that it was pitch dark; it was between the lights. On the last occasion he had connection with her in the lavatory of the in firmary. She was then an inmate of the infirmary. When witness left the house on the 22d April he went to Hounslow. He had connection with her after she left the infirmary and the house. He could tell when if he stopped to think. He never had connection with the girl Skinner after she left the house. He thought Mr. Angel meant some one else. Would not swear he thought so. On the 4th of June he was passing the house, and he met the master, who asked him whether he had ever bad connection with Skinner. Witness told him the truth. He got a summons, and a ttended at the police-court. He only received two half-crowns from the master for loss of time at the police-court. Mary Marshall, chief laundress, said she was an inmate of the house for five years. The girl Skin ner got witness to speak to the matron to p rocur e her a situation. c h© had a bad knee, which she said she got throug h cleaning. She never made a complaint of t he master assaulting her. Witn ess had seen her re p eatedly speaking to one of the clerks, and once, when witness saw her l eav i ng the clerk's office, witness said she would report her. Witnes s met Skinner subsequently in Sept. 1861, Skinner said that child,l.tand that she be lieved , as th e h f e a r t her of appearance . her he would marry her. Ir and dbbs noticedw mo nth of March seen Gibbs and ski Skinner leaving the ness had in the lavatory, and she spoke to Gibb s was a very forward girl, constantly about it. Skinner speaking to the men. Mr. Meyrick w as a very correct moral gen tleman. Cross-examined by Mr. Angel—The affair of the lavatory WAS in the latter part of March, and not in the first fortnight. yV 'mild swear she never heard any report about the master and Skinner. Witness's statement had been taken down by Mr. Lewis- Mr. F. Morton, clerk al the offices in the work house, said he knew the g. ;.r1 Skinner two or three days before she entered the house. He saw i.er first near the Salmon and Bal 1 tavern,Bethnal-green. He saw her standing about, .and spoke to her. They had a glass of ale together. They then proceeded together to Bethnal-green, where they had connec tion. She said that she was going into the work house, and he afterwards saw her there. He had connexion with her in the house on more than one occasion. That was before she went into the infir mary. Cross-examined by Mr. Angel —lt was in the court at Bethnal-green that Skinner said she was going into the house, and witness told her it was the best thiog she could do. She did not then tell him her name. He had connexion with her two or three days after she entered the house, in his master's office, about 3or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, One of the clerks was olA:t at the time for his holiday, it being Saturday. It aN'as the custom for only one of the three clerks to rema,-a on Saturday. The inti macy took place on the offi:!e floor. The girl might have come to the office ur2obser ved if the porter was in the lodge. Witness tolc.l Mr. Meyrick about the affair about a week after the ingoiry was talked of. Never asked Nettleford the g ireki name, and said that he knew nothing about her. He did not say, " I suppose this affair will be settleil , and m y extras will be stopped." Re-examined—lt was witness's express wish not to be called as a witness at the inquiry, bu tTr.Muy rick said he would subpoena him. He did t ot mind speaking before the police-court. He thou t. ght Mr. Meyrick was wrongly accused. By Mr. Angel—About a fortnight ago w ,iteess was a candidate for the office of assistant relie viug officer. The only thing Mr. Meyrick promi.sed him was a subpcena. Susan Pomroy (chief cleaner) said that Skinner was under her, and neglected her work to talk to the whitewashers, &c. She complained that her knee was made bad by cleaning, and she was made bed-maker. Witness was ten years in the house, and Mr. Meyrick was always a modest, moral man. Never heard any report about Skinner and the master. Caroline Cronin (occasional inmate of the house for sixteen years) said that she saw Skinner on two occasions talking to Gibbs. Witness afterwards saw Skinner in the waiting-roo:n of the Mile-end Workhouse, and she told witness they would not admit her unless she told them who the father was. She said, " I will father it on some one who can afford to keep it." Witness replied, " The father of my children can afford to keep them, but he does not." By Mr. Cane—Witness had. illegitimate children. The proceedings were then adjourned, it being understood that the case of Sarah Anne Smith should be completed at the next sitting.

A WORD ON WOMAN'S INSTINCT.—Women are best in making short, common-sense cuts. They don't reason— pardon me, I am not rude. They do not find t necessary to set that machinery of judgment in operation of which man, is so vain. They have a way of their own—an instinct peculiar to their sex—a gift which elevates them. W ithin certain limits and on certain subjects they pounce with unerring aim upon a truth. They can't give reasons for their conclusions. They are, at least, very silly if they try to do so, and not improbably disturb the successful im pression of their impromptu sentence. If they are wise they give no reasons but an answer; and, if sudden, it is probably right. They have a power of discernment in many things not possessed by man. With them it is no guess, but a common instinctive perception. To most men it is a mysterious faculty, and r edeems the short cuts of common life from the general charge of foolhardiness or chance.—Once a Week.
