Fund" Committee forwarded a large sum to him
on Saturday afternoon, and that further supplies
will also be sent off whenever the committee

have received the sanction of the respective sub-
scribers. The working men in different places
are also moving in the matter. The " Friends

of Italy" have arranged for Italian officers of

experience to be sent from this country direct to
the field of action.

The project of a second Crystal Palace has, for
the present at least, fallen through. Tile object
in view was to furnish a similar place of resort as
that which the people in the southern districts
of the metropolis enjoy at Sydenham, for those of
the northern districts, somewhere in the neigh-
bourhood of Hampstead. But its promoters have
notified that, sufficient capital not having been
subscribed, 'there be nc? .o.l.tment of shares
at present, and that all applications are considered

as cancelled.
Another case of banic embezzlement Las been,
detected. The cashier of the British Linen Coin-

In the House of Lords yesterday, Lord Ebury
moved an address to her Majesty for the appoint-
ment of a commission to prepare such alterations
and amendments in the canons as may seem
desirable. After a few observations from various
nobles and right-reverend lords, Lord Ebury
withdrew his motion. The Bankrupt and the
Pawnbrokers' Bills were read a second time.
In the House of Commons, last night, the great
subject of debate was the motion for the third
reading of the Paper Duty Repeal Bill, which
after a lengthened discussion, was carried, and
the bill was accordingly read a third time and
passed. It will be observed, however, that the
majority was a very narrow one—only nine, in a
house of 428 members.
The bill which, according to Sir G. C. Lewis's
intimation in the House of Commons, Ministers
have had prepared for the purpose of rendering
the rating of tenements uniform, and to charge
them on their value, is one that must have an
important bearing upon the Reform Bill,—and it
is a pity that it cannot now be brought forward
and passed. As it is more than probable, however,
that either " the pressure of public business," or
some other cause, will also prevent the latter
important measure being passed this session, the
country can all the more conveniently await its
enactment.
The opponents of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's Wine Licenses Bill are not considered
to have made out a case, by any means, in the
House of Commons on Monday night; and hence
their signal defeat, notwithstanding the powerful
interests by which they were supported. The
amendment proposed in their behalf by Mr.
Ayrton—" That it was inexpedient to impose a
new tax on houses for the sale of intoxicating
refreshments, and to promote the consumption of
intoxicating drink, by giving increased facilities
for retailing the same, and diminishing the con-
trol exercised by the justices of the peace over
houses kept for that purpose," was not based on
truth altogether, if at all. The light French
and German wines which it will principally
promote the consumption of at refreshment rooms
can scarcely be considered as " intoxicating."
It may be quite true, as it was argued, that " all
reasonable opportunities for companionship and
enjoyment were afforded by the existing law."
But it is not for purposes of " companionship,"
but of refreshment, that the sale of such wines is
to be licensed at eating-houses. We quite agree
with Sir M. Peto when he declared, that "his
own experience in various parts of the world led
him to the opinion that a wine-drinking popula-
tion was the most sober ;" and the tendency of
the bill in question, we humbly think, is likely
to be, to influence the habits of the people in that
direction—to make them, not a spirit-drinking
but " a wine-drinking" population, and thereby
promote their sobriety.
The movements of Garibaldi are naturally
being observed with anxious interest. If it be
true that he has succeeded, after all, in embarking
for Sicily with his expeditionary corps d'arinee,
he has in all probability taken a step that may
light afresh the torch of war in. the Italian
peninsula. He had already resigned his office in
the Sardinian army; but it is said that by acting
as he is reported to have done, he has fallen under
the application of the law against piracy. The
Sardinian Government having ordered the Sar-
dinian vessels off Sicily to oppose with armed
force any attempt which may be made by indi-
viduals who have embarked in vessels hoisting
the Sardinian flag, it is not unlikely that Gari-
baldi himself may be brought into hostile collision
with the Government he has just been serving so
faithfully and so well. Money is being sent to
him, it seems, from this country. It is stated,
we observe, that the Glasgow " Garibaldi Italian
