lONEY MARKET. The general money market, which a few days ago exhibited so much firmness and activity, has alrcady relapsed into a cpmparatively quiet state, and the rates show a slight relaxation. First class bills and also loans on Government securities can be negotiated on easier terms, and a greater dispo sition is evinced by the banks and discount firms to employ their resources at the current prices. The amount of gold taken into the Bank yester day was .£34,000. The Giant's Causeway, with £49,000, and the Marion Moore, with £33,000, have arrived from Australia. The City of Washington, from New York, has brought £46,000 in specie. The Pera, which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c., will take out £104,972. The bar silver by the West India steamer La Plata has been sold at ss. Id. per oz. A dividend at the rate of 31- per cent. is recom mended by the directors of the Great Western Rail way of Canada, leaving £21,507 to be carried over. There was a moderate inquiry for cotton in the Liverpool market yesterdey, and prices were slightly firmer. The sales were about 5,000 bales. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up th.is day, are in round figures as under : 1862. 1861.

On the Great Western there is a decrease of £2,564, on the North-Western of £8,885, on the South• Western of £4,068. on the Brighton of £5,862, on the Midland of £3,512, on the South-Eastern of £5 820, on the Great Northern of £2,421, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £7,826, and on the North-Eastern of £3,861. The Grand Trunk of Canada, however, shows an increase of £654, and th.e Great Western of Canada of £B3O. CITY NEWS, THIS DAYS. Two O'CLOCK. The official returns relating to trade and naviga tiov for the two months ending the 28th February have just been published. From these it appears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom during that period was £16,750,114 against £16,718,419 in the like period 01 1861, showing an increase of £40,695. The in 'crease is most perceptible in beer and ale, coals and etilm, linen manufactures, sheeps' and lambs'-wool, anc. l woollen manufactures. A decrease is, how ever, perceptible in cotton manufactures, cotton Yarn, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutl er y, machinery, silk manufactures, and British aPirits. The importations of the principal articles 'Were larger as respects flax, hemp, provisions, salt petre, raw silk, spices, tallow, sheep and lambs'- Wool, coffee and tea ; but smaller as regards live 'Animals, raw cotton, quicksilver, wheat, barley, fruit, sugar, timber, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts exhibit a decrease in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the two months of 2 46,363 tons for the entries inwards ; but there is au increase of 107,344 tons for the clearances out- Wai•ds. In the coasting trade for the same period there Was an increase of 26,466 tons for the entries in -wards ; but a decrease of 75,710 for the clear ances outwards, as compared with those in the like Period of 1861. The market for Public Securities opened this warning with an improved appearance, and trans actions took place at a rise of k per cent., but it was tot maintained, subsequent sales having occasioned a relapse. Consols were 931 91 for transfer and the 10th inst., but they have sirice receded to 931 and93'4 The quotations for the May account are 94. Th e New Threes are steady at 921 I; the Reduced, at 921 ; Exchequer Bills, at 173. to 20s. prem. ; India Stock is firm at 226 ; and the 6 per Cent. at 1081 I. Business in the Foreign Market has continued bloclerately active, and prices are tolerably steady.

The negro, though he might come to the theatre in his private carriage, and have money enough in the bank to buy the theatre, could not get admission to boxes, or pit, nor even to the thiri tier, set apart for fallen women. His only place was the gallery, and in many eases he was railed off, even in this, from the lowest class of the white population. To-d a y, most of the American theatres have but two places and pr i ces , a nd there i s no adm i ssion whatever f or th e negro. I have never seen one in any fashionable place of amuse ment in the Northern States, except a s a menial, or with a marked separation from the respectable, and sometimes even the disreputable portion of the audience,—oncs a WO. 106 105 4 9.16.4 12.10 I THE SUN, LONDON, TIT UT ISO A EVEN G, APRIL 3, 1862, Business don, 1028 104 1:i i .74 25i 5 f 7 7 t z 11 11 12 4i 4 lip 4,1 13 13} 8i Si 20 21 40& 414 - - 8 10 7 6 44 15 53 65 4 3d 14 16 01 101 01 91 fpm 21p 30/ 31/ 71 71 101 22/ 1:3/ ES. 102 i lt 14 i .9.3 114.6 3.0.0 7.10.0 561 17s 30 82 400 410 .12 44 34 34} 12k 12t 3 14 16= 3 3} 6.15.6 8.12 4.14 1.11 9; 4.3.0 71 21 3 36 38 2 2i 44 46 91 101 id par 4 5 20t i 12.3 2.3 0 2.2.9 1* 10.6.7 5.11.6 1 18.1k.0 .28.9. 471 51 5 7f 1.7.2 3 31 11 2 5 6 41 43 t 320 ' 3O 24 3 100 105 29 $1 1} 1} 94 10 13 134 36 38 270 280 974 102} 60 65 11 1} 144 15} 14} 151 17 18 7i all all all i 1 * i I 1i 11 di s. d ipnal 1 0 I 3} POLICE..TIpS - DAY. °sr.

This is 27 feet above low water mark at Rcttingdean. The water, which is still slowly rising, can now be seen from the top of the well.—Br ighton Guardian. MR. ERICSSON.—This eminent engineer is not an American. He was born and educated in Sweden, and rose to the rank of captain in the Swedish army before he left his native country—first for England, and afterwards for America. He has a brother in Sweden, Colonel Ericsson, who is the chief engineer over the Swedish railways. A SHORT CUT TO THE BAR.—It is rumoured that one of our Inns of Court has lately contracted the habit of calling gentlemen to the bar without having kept the num ber of terms which has hitherto been regarded-as essential. We are informed that several gentlemen from the colonies, some of them members of the Indian civil service absent on leave, have come over with an eye to securing some of the many judicial appointments of which we hear so much now a-days, and that they have been called to the bar having kept in some cases as few as four terms. We do not wish to speculate on the effect which may be wrought upon our colonial fellow-subjects if an attempt is made to govern by the law through gentlemen who have not been regularly educated to it; but we venture to point out to learned benchers that charity begins at home, and that if the short road to the bar is open to non-lawyers from India, attorneys of standing and experience in this country ought to be per mitted to travel the same way.—Cox's Legal Circular. THE FATAL ACCIDENTS AT THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.—Up to yesterday, the total number of workmen killed while working at this building has been 16. About 50 have been seriously injured, and many of these perma nently disabled by the amputation of legs and arms. The claims of the families of these men are to be brought before the commissioners by some benevolent gentlemen who have taken their case in hand. , THE CONVICTED MURDERERS AT DERBY AND BEAIIMARIS.—Richard Rowlands, who was convicted at last Beaumaris assizes of the wilful murder of his father in-law, Richard Williams, will be executed on Friday morning at Beaumaris gaol, as the Home Secretary does not see any grounds in the appeals that have been made to him to interfere with the due course of law, and the sen. tence will accordingly be carried into effect. With regard to the case of Richard Thorley, convicted at Derby at the late assizes of the murder of hts sweetheart, Eliza Morrow, no memorial has yet been presented, nor from the circum stances of the case is it at all probable that Sir George Grey could be brought to advise the extension of the cle mency of the crown. The execution of Thorley is fixed for Friday, the 11th inst., at Derby. We (Glasgow Mining Journal) are glad to hear that our townsmen, Messrs. Thomas Edington and Sons, have secured the contract for the iron castings required for the large building to be erected in Paris for the intended Exhibition of 1863. The building will be one of the largest in the world ; it will cover about 80,000 square yards, and the cast iron required for the same will be about 8,000 tons. The design of the building is by Sir Joseph Paxton; and it is surely a sign of a liberal spirit that the French have adopted designs drawn by an Englishman, and have given the contract for the iron work to a Scotch founder. For ourselves, we wish our own ugly E x hibiti on b u ildi n g had been designed by some foreigner. WRECK OF 1 STFAILIRI?--FIFn LIVES MILFORD, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The steamer Mars, bound to Bristol frcm Water ford, was totally lost last Eight on Crow Rocks, about three miles from the Haven, during a heavy gale and thick fog. Six men have arrived here from the wreck, and report about 50 lives lost, and 300 cattle perished, A later telegram says the exact number of lives lost is uncertain. 'WINDSOR CASTLE, APRIL 2. Fiiday next is the day now fixed upon for her Majesty's departure from the Castle for Osborne, unless information should be received by telegraph of the sea being unfavour ably rough for crossing, when the Royal journey will be further postponed. The youthful Prince Leopold, who has been staying at Cannes for the benefit of his health, is expected to arrive at Osborne, to meet her Majesty on her arrival there. Her Majesty will remain at Osborne until the 28th of the present month, on which day she will take her departure for Scotland. After a month's sojourn at her northern residence, her Majesty will return to Windsor Castle for a few days, and then go to Osborne, where she will remain until after the wedding of her Royal Highness Princess Alice, which will take place in June, at Osborne House, in as private a manner as possible. About the middle of August the Queen will again visit Scotland, and, after a month's residence there, return to Osborne. The Queen will afterwards visit Germany, the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, brother to his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort, having offered to give up his present residence for her Majesty's accommodation, which kind offer her Majesty will avail herself of. As it 4s her Majesty's intention to pass the year in a comparatively private manner, it is not expected that she will pay the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia a visit on this occasion, but that their Royal Highnesses will visit the Queen at Coburg. Motion made and question put, " That leave be given to bring in a bill to reduce the duty on fire insurance." The house divided—Ayes, 127; Noes, 116. AYES-12 7. Annesley, H. George, John Norris, J.

BOW STREET. A YORKSIIIREMAN TAKEN IN AND DONE Foll.—Mary Ann Brown, a girl of the town, was charged with stealing a watch the property of George Bunker, a Yorkshireman. The prosecutor said—This morning, your worship, I met the prisoner and another girl in George-street, St. Giles's, and after asking whether " I was good natured," I entered into conversation with them, when they asked me if I was going to stand something to drink. I didn't like to refuse, and me and the prisoner, and her friend all went to a public house and had some refreshment. They then, in a very free and easy manner, asked me to go home with them, which of course I did. (Laughter.) We all three got into bed; but, previous to my doing so, I thought the best way to take care of my watch was to put it under the pillow. (Laughter.) I suppose that they both saw me do so ; but at the time they made no remark. After we had been in bed a little while the prisoner got up, as she said she had forgot something, and in a short time she walked out of the room. (Laughter.) I felt for my watch and found it had been taken away. I woke up the other girl, and told her her friend had stolen my watch; when she said, " Well, lam sorry for that." (Laughter.) She said she would get up and go and look after her, which I thought was very kind, but instead of doing so she bolted too, and left me in the room alone. I went out and told the policeman how I had been served, and gave him a descrip tion of the woman who had taken the watch. He then took me to another house, where there was a rare lot of girls and men, and amongst them I picked out the prisoner. The Magistrate asked if he was sure she was the same woman ? Witness—Oh, yes ; I know it's the same woman, as she's got a mark over her eye, which I noticed before we went to bed. Police-sergeant Matthews said—From what the witness told me I went with h m to a. house in Charles-street, St. Giles's, and there, from amongst a number of others, he picked out the prisoner and charged her with robbing him. She said he was mistaken, but he persisted saying that she was the person, and accordingly I took her into custody. Prosecutor—Why she walked off, when she took my watch, without her shoes and stockings. They were found in the room after she left. I suppose she forgot to put them on. (Laughter.) The Magistrate asked if anyth ing had been found out about the watch or the other wor aan. The constable replied that he had not found the slightest trace of either. The Magistrate said he would remand the prisoner, in order to afford the police time to look after her companion. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET The supply of beast. hero to-day (which was chiefly com posed of stock left over from Monday) was only moderate; nevertheless, all breeds met a dull inquiry, at about sta tionary prices. The very best Scots and crosses sold with difficulty at 4s 4d per Blbs. We were fairly supplied with sheep. Downs and half-breds supported previous rates, but long-woolled sheep were heavy, and 2d per 81bs lower. There was a slow inquiry for lambs, at from 68 4d to 7s per Blbs. About 180 arrived from the Isle of Wight. Calves commanded rather more attention, at an improvement in value of 2d per Sibs. Pigs and milch cows moved off heavily at about last week's prices.

IRON-PLATED SHIPS.—Mr. Bentinck proposes to add the following words to Mr. Osborne's motion to-mor row :—" And that this house will, on an early day, resolve itself into a committee for the purpose of empowering the Government to apply any portion of the moneys which have been voted for the construction of forts to the construction of iron-sheathed vessels, or to the conversion of wooden vessels into iron-sheathed vessels." THE TYNE NAVAL RESERVE.—The Shipping Master at North Shields has this week commenced to pay the men of the Royal Naval Reserve their retainers for the quarter, and a very welcome gift it has been found by many of the seamen's families, as great numbers are ill off through the continued depression among shipping. The number of men who have volunteered into this force through the North Shields Shipping-office up to the end of Match is 1,325, the majority of whom have, at the least, undergone a month's drill aboard the training-ship C as t or. yesterdayt George Tavern, in th e Corn morning, as a po li ce con stableMOßE DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AND L oss OF L IFE. —A bo —About was s n pin e a s o s 'clo g ck ne near h mercial-road East, he observed a lurid glare of flame in a shop opposite. The moment he reached the premises the windows of the second floor were opened, and two young men who lodged in the house made an attempt to jump out. One of the unfortunate men, im so doing, had to climb over an iron grating, and his fe e t b ecom i ng en tangled it prevented his clearing the obstruction, and the consequence was that when he could liberate himself he fell on the pavement, his head st riking the stone flags with fearful violence. He was picked up dead. The other lodger was a little more fortunate, as he cleared the ironwork and dropped upon his feet, but he was terribly shaken, and one of his arms Was broken. Such is the serious nature of the injuries he has received, that he is not expected to recover.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, a house not havin g been made before. GREAT GRIMSBY ELECTION. Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report of the General Election Committee, nominating the following members to serve on the Committee on the petition against the return of the member for Great Grimsby, namely, Mr, J. E. Egerton (Chairman), Sir A. W. Buller, Mr. G. G. Glyn, Mr. Loagfield, Mr. Liddell, and Lord Robert Montagu. MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on this bill, Sir E. GROGAN said that this was a measure which deeply affected the social interests of the people in Ireland, and, though he had not given notice of any motion, he would conclude by making one in reference to it. The more he looked at the bill the more objectionable he found its provisions, and he considered it ought to be referred to a select committee up stairs before proceeding further. The present law was operating satisfactorily in Ireland, and had been got into good working order through the exertions ol the gentlemen at the head of the department. Notwith standing that fact, it was proposed by this bill to upset that state of things and to introduce a merely experimental measure. (Hear, hear.) The marriages celebrated by Roman Catholic clergymen between persons of different denominations was proposed to be made penal, but a law to the same effect exi s t e d a t p resen t, w hi c h h a d beeninvari ably evaded. Persons of different denominations might profess themselves Roman Catholics, and, after the cele bration of marriage by a Roman Catholic priest, return to their real faith; but for such practices there was no re medy. He could not see why the statute law of this coun try in reference to marriage should not be extended to Ireland. He concluded by moving that the house go into committee on this bill that day six months. After a few words from Mr. Bagwell, Mr. George, and Mr. Scully, Mr. CARDWELL also supported the bill. Colonel FRENCH also supported going into - committee. Sir H. CAIRNS (who introduced the bill) said that it had been committed last July, but there was no opposition to it in Ireland, though there had been an amendment placed on the paper. With respect to objections that had taken place he said it would be impossible for a private member to introduce a bill for an uniform system of registration in Ireland. In the first place they would have to deal with the Established Church of Ireland, which had a system of surrogates. The Presbyterians had a system of licensing of their own, which they had obtained from Parliament, and with which they were satisfied. By this bill Roman Ca tholics were merely required to give notice of marriage to the registrar of the district, and on a certificate from him of due publicity of banns, the marriage might then be so lemnised, There was some mistake with reference to the bill, as it did not, as some hon. members supposed, autho rise Roman Catholic clergymen to celebrate marriages be tween. Protestants, and it related entirely to mixed mar riages. Having entered into some further details as to the pro visions of the bill, the right hon. gentleman said he was anxious that there should be speedy legislation on the sub ject, and in order to secure that result he would consent to the postponement of the new clauses until after Easter, and to the introduction of the clause agreed to by the house last session. Mr. LEFROY withdrew his amendments. The house then went into committee, and clauses from Ito 8 were agreed to. Clause 9 was postponed. Clauses to 22 were agreed to, but there was a discussion on clause 23, which related to the terms of residence in a parish of persons about to contract marriage, which it was contended was not sufficiently definite, and the clause was withdrawn. The clauses to 44 included were then agreed to, and Sir H. CAIRNS, in reply to a question, said he pro posed to proceed with the other clauses on the 14th May. The Chairman then reported progress, and the house resumed. CHANCERY REUULATION BILL. This bill was considered, and ordered for third reading to-morrow. LAW OF PROPERTY AMENDMENT BILL (LORDS). The house went into committee on this bill. The SOLICI TOR-GENERAL objected to clause 1, He contended that the effect of the clause would be to dis turb and unsettle the existing law in relation to title, without providing an adequate substitute. The clause would abolish altogether the tests of the present law in making out . titles, and would require of the judges to con struct a new system with which conveyancers, or those engaged in the transfer of landed property could not possibly have been previously acquainted. He thought legislation should proceed in directly the opposite direction to that pointed out by the clause. He proposed that certain word in the clause should be omitted and others substituted car rying out his views. MALINS considered that this was so abstruse a question that before they decided on the amendment it should be printed. if it were pressed at present he should feel bound to vote for it as it originally stood. Sir F. KELLY denied that the present law was in a settled state, or if it was, he asserted that it was settled on a very unsound basis, and the sooner it was settled the better. He said that the bill was prepared with great care, and a clause was introduced by Lord St. Leonards, end sanctioned by the highest legal authorities in the Upper House. He defended the clause at some length, contending that it contained a remedy for a very serious evil in respect to the sale and purchase of lauded property. Sir F. GOLDSMID opposed the clause, and agreed with the Solicitor-General, that it would unsettle the law and lead to much mischief. Mr. I\FDONOUGH gave a short history of the transit of the bill through the Upper House, and said it had been so altered as to skeet all the objections that had been raised to its provisions. He contended that it would be very hard on an honest purchaser to be dispossessed on the mere pre tence of a constructive notice, the law of which had been condemned by several of the most eminent judges. Mr. LONGFIELD opposed the clause as being totally inapplicalle to Ireland, and removing a wholesome restric tion on the transfer of land. Mr. MALINS supported the clause, which he said did little more than re-enact the existing law, and was not properly understood. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he would not divide the House on the clause until his amendment was printed, and he reserved to himself the right of doing so when the report was brought up. Mr. WALPOLE supported the clause. Sir F. GOLDSMID then moved the omission of the clause. The house divided, and the numbers were— For the clause ' 56 Against it Majority The announcement was received with some applause. On clause 2, Mr. MALINS proposed its omission. By the act o last year a clergyman first became a bankrupt, and by clause 2 of the present bill, when a clergyman became bankrupt the sequestration creditor would lose the benefit of his sequestration, and would come in as one of the common creditors. He contended that such an alteration in the law would be most unjust, as the sequestrator would stand in the same position as an ordinary mortgagee. Mr. WALPOLE strongly opposed the clause. Mr. AYRTON supported the clause, but considered it should not be retroactive in its action. After some conversation, the clause was agreed to, as were clauses 3 and 4. The remaining clauses were also agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be reported on Mon day next. The house then resumed. LAND DEBENTURES (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time. JUDGMENT LAW AMENDMENT BILLS Mr. WHITESIDE obtained leave to bring in the bill which was read a first time. The house then adjourned. A LIVERPOOL MANUF C 7 URER PUNISHED FOR PERJURY. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. Thomas Corkhill, 53, was fried before Mr. Justice Willes, at the Liverpool Assizes, to-day, on a charge of perjury before Mr. Commissioner Perry, at the Liverpool Bankruptcy Court, on Feb. 3 last. The prisoner had been for some time a cabinetmaker in a large way of business in Livarpool, and was regarded as a substantial and highly respectable tradesman. In 1861 a fire broke out on Corkhill's premises which destroyed a considerable quantity of valuable wood and furniture. The'property being insured, Cork hill applied for compensation, but the company deeming his claims to be excessive refused to pay them, and he therefore instituted an action, in which he received the sum of £l,BOO. This was paid 19Y the company on the 19th Nov, last year, and Cork hill's solicitors appropriated for their costs a t n o d him. ex penses all but £666, which was handed over r ourt of Eleven days after this he petitioned Bankruptcy, and was adjudicated positiran of When his creditors became aware of th e money which affairs they demanded an account of e t cow any.

The publication, in an octavo form, of this last product of Macaulay's labours, will be hailed as a boon by the myriad admirers of his genius ; and as he is, perhaps, the only writer who has succeeded in making history popular as fiction, it is both liberal and politic to issue his work in such a form as to be generally accessible. His portrait, at the age of 49, is prefixed; so is a biography, by the Dean of St. Paul's. Popular Tales of the West Highlands, with a 1 ranslation by I. F. Campbell. Edmonston and Douglas, Edinburgh. The industry and perseverance of Mr. Campbell in collecting these legends cannot be too highly praised, and it is only to be regretted that they are not more attractive to the general reader. By the antiquary they will, of course, be welcomed with delight, for their value in an archaeological sense is unquestionable : but they are by no means so amusing as fairy legends, whilst the Icelandic Sagas far surpass them iu artistic execution. Still this is no fault of Mr. Campbell's, he could but give what he found ; his translations bear evi dent marks of care and fidelity, and the materials he has brought together will be of th e utmost im portance to those who wish to form an estimate of the ancient Gaelic literature. The volumes now published are the third and fourth, concluding the work ; the former consisting of West Highland tales, whilst the latter is almost wholly devoted to an examination into the authenticity of Ossian, and the bringing forward such tales and traditions as mention his heroes or throw light on their actions. "It is certain," says Mr. Campbell, " that the heroes have been Celtic worthies for centuries, and that their exploits have been celebrated in Gaelic verse ever since the ninth century, if not the seventh ; but of the published Gaelic Ossian as an entire work there is not a trace before Mac f - bberson's time." He then expresses his conviction that MacPherson's Ossian is a composite Work, made up of various materials, mainly Scotch, but some portion belonging to Ireland, and concl u d es with a discussion of British traditions, Celtic dress, and Celtic art. The work contains a considerable number of illustrations, chiefly from Celtic monu ments, and it is clear that no pains have been spared to render it as complete as possible. The Cartarets ; or, Country Pleasures. By E. A.R. Hogg and Sons. This specimen of the series of juvenile books is one of the prettiest as well as pleasantest that the publishers have yet issued. The cover resembles a picture framed in mauve, nor is the expectation it excites disappointed by the contents. They narrate the events that occurred during the three months' residence in the country of a London family, and few rural sights or sounds escape comment, expla nation, or discussion. It is excellently adapted as, a present for the young. A Comprehensive History of India. Nos. 51 to 56. Blackie and Sons. These numbers conclude the work, which pro fesses to treat of the aspects, Civil, Military, and Social, of the country, from the first landing of the English to the suppression of the Sepoy revolt. It is very nicely got up, is lavishly illustrated, and. has an excellent index. Crawfords. By Caroline Ricketts. Booth, Regent -street. Without pretending to any great degree either of complexity or profundity, Miss Ricketts has pro duced a very pleasantly -written tale, moderate in length, and by no means improbable in incident. It narrates the history of two families, each named, Crawford, who reside near each other, and are dis-, tantly related, and the only son of the one and the only daughter of the other are the chief actors in it. They fall in love, and the former (a spoilt child) enters the army, becomes a roué and a gambler, is expelled his regiment, flies to the Continent, and when :in the last extremity of distress is rescued and reformed by a clergyman named Arthur- Wrangham, who ultimately marries his sister. We shall not minutely detail the plot, but content ourselves with commending the story to the reader' s notice. Beeton's Publication:.

GARIBALDI AND Thß ITALIAN .7.47)rr5. 7 , 7777: A ATTUROPIO 456002:11TION. The Tribuno of March 16 one the following: We have received from Villa Spinola the fol lowing letter, addressed by General Garibaldi to the founders of the Italian Ladies' Philanthropic Association : TO TB ITALIAN LADIES. In the name of our country, I owe you a word of thetas for your good work. Amongst the many benefits accomplished by it is the establishment of an institution at Torre del Greco, where the children of the poor are fed, clothed, and educated in the duties of citizens. Similar institutions you will estab lish in Palermo and elsewhere, wherever misery is most oppressive. May God bless you, women with the heart of angels, and bless the kind and excellent foreign ladies, ini tiators and benefactors of this holy work. You have restored to Italy the old and sublime Christianity which egotism and. imposture had trampled under foot. On the day in which the wealthy classes, regarding the poor as brothers, care for and help them, on that day shall a term be placed to the terrible revolution which convulses mankind, at intervals irregular, but certain and inevitable so long as the powerful persist in their blind obstinacy. May the committees of generous ladies, already existing, extend their beneficent association to the remotest villages of the Peninsula, where the need is greatest. I render grateful acknowledgments to the regenerators of a people who have claims to the sympathy of the whole human race. (Signed) G. GARIBALDI. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.
