THE WOUNDED VOLUNTEERS AT

PALERMO.

The following communication has been received by
the committee of the Ladies' Garibaldi Benevolent
Association, from Signor Mario, in reply to a letter from
a lady connected with the association :
" Garibaldi Hospital, Palermd, July 16.

" Your welcome letter, dated sth of July, reached me
yesterday, in the midst of our sick and wounded, and as
a steamer leaves this to-morrow, I lose no time in reply-
ing to your questions. As you will see by the paper sent
by General Garibaldi to Lady Shaftesbury, he wishes me
to receive the sums you collect for the invalids. Send
them, therefore, to the banker whose name I enclose, as
this is the safest and quickest method of receiving money
from England. I will send you every fortnight an account
of the expenditure, signed by the general, who will besides
send you a receipt for each remittance ; thus your sub-
scribers will know that their offerings are applied to the
end for which they were given. I can find no words to
express my gratitude to you all for your kind thought
of our poor volunteers, who have suffered what no regu-
lar army can ever suffer--suffered without a murmur,
though many of them had never known a hardship until
they came to Sicily. Your contributions will prove
invaluable just. now, as they will enable Dr. Ripari
to supply to the wounded many comforts (in England
we should call them necessities) which must other-
wise be forgeone. Moreover, among the remnants .of

the first expedition—i. e., of the heroes who landed
.at
Marsala and won Palermo—many are totally disabled,
and several have left young widows and children unpro-
vided for. In a moment like this, when yesterday is
forgotten to-day, and all thoughts are fixed on to-
morrow, it is not unlikely that many of the pioneers
will be overlooked. As it is, all those who are rendered
unfit for service by wounds or sickness, are sent home
with 11.1 piastri (about £2 10s.), which is all they will
carry from Sicily in memory of the signal service
rendered. It would be a glorious thing if the women
of England should succeed in raising such sums as shall
serve to render the future of these martyrs of liberty
free from want.

" You may ask me how things are organised here.
You must remember that Garibaldi's expedition was
organised with such rapidity that he had neither time
nor means to provide aught save powder, shot, and brave
hearts with which to face the foe ; hence, for medical
aid, as for everything else, he had to trust to volunteers.
Of the braves who fell at Calatifltul ull wlso.urrired
have come on to Palermo, where the old military hospi-
tal is better adapted for dogs than for men , indeed, our
men will not remain there, but petitioned the general
to remove them. After the taking of Palermo tempo-
rary hospitals were opened, which are now centred in
this. Dr. Ripari, the head physician of the General's

army, casting his eyes around for an airy, healthy spot
for his men, hit upon the Collegio Massimo of the
Jesuits as sure to be just the thing, and so it proves.
During the five weeks that it has been opened we have
not lost a man save one, who died of black smallpox ;
but as our space enabled us to give him' a floor to
himself, the infection has not spread. All are pro-
gressing; one poor fellow with both arms shot through
and 'a ball in his breast, went out yesterday for the first
time; and another whose arm we scarcely hoped to save '
three weeks since, went up with me to see the general
list night. We' have a poor Hungarian here who
received a ball in his back which went out at his breast,
and another in his right arm. Several with their left
arm taken off prayed to be amputated below the elbow,
believing they could still point their guns on the stump.
You never hear a complaint among the wounded. 'We
came to die with Garibaldi,' they say, ' and we hope
to do so yet.' He is the idol of the volunteers. When
he came to visit them the other day, all eyes from
every bed were fixed upon him. As they get better
their first -prayer is, ' Take me to Garibaldi.' Each
feels himself the favourite son,' and, indeid, the general'
is a father to them all. When I gave- him-your letter •
his eyes lighted up with joy ; he already knew of
your exertions. God bless the noble people of Eng-
land,' he- said ;- ho'w much we owe them.' He
means to write to your committee when he has time;
but he is bored to death here. His element is the
camp or the desert ; not a palace where he receives'
from 4 a.m. to 8 p.m. If immediately after a battle
—which may occur in an open plain or a, moun-
tain height, far off even from a village—the wounded
are promptly attended to, amputation skilfully per-
formed, balls extracted at once, we save the greater
portion, but to effect that the medical staff mast be
numerous, able, and well provided with all necessaries.
As for hospital tents, I believe Garibaldi's men have
never known what they are—they must be very light,
as he never carries much baggage. • •
" Let lint come in abundance, as -here nothing is used
but the wretched ravelling; which are a great trouble
to prepare, and last but once. The air cushion& will be
invaluable, as they take up little space."

PROPORTION OF THE SEXES IN VICTORIA.---The•
disparity of the sexes in the crudely-formed colony of
Victoria appears to be greater than in any other part of
Australia. The last census of the population of the
colony showed 88,355 unmarried men, of 20 years and,
upwards, to but 12,546 unmarried women of correspond-
ing ages. The proportion of unmarried men on the
goldfields was still greater, the bachelors being to the.
spinsters in the proportion of upwards of 20 to 1 Could
not the Employment of Women Society take this matter
in hand with advantage instead of endeavouring to block
up still more the home labour market ?

THE FUTURE OF BRITISH RAILWAY PROPERTY.—
The great middle class are beginning to see in railway-
stocks precisely what they want—an improving invest-
ment—one to which the savings destined for tho pro--
vision of a family may be trusted in well-gretrnded
faith. We say to existing railway proprietors, cultivate
this tendency by every means in your power ; look not
to the comparatively unimportant question of an addi-
tion of a half per cent. to your immediate dividend;
rectify your accounts, and wipe out every blot that
recalls the old system by which capitalists have been se.
long discouraged ; endeavour to make future dividends as
certain as those of the canal companies were formerly',
and more certain than those of even the best managed
banks are now; stimulate directors to practice economy:-
and to foster amicable relations with neighbouring
companies ; do this, and your property will at last take
its proper rank in the market, and any renewal of past
depreciation will be rendered-impossible. We believe
that the time will come when railway property will be
universally recognised as one of the finest investments.
in the country, when its dividends willhe as secure as.
those of consols, and when the ordinary stock will be so
thoroughly absorbed into the channels of permanent
investment that it will be even.mpre difficult to purchase
than the best of the preferential and guaranteed stocks.
are now. The railway system of the country may now
be considered almost complete. All it needs is honest
and • capable management to ensure to its proprietors.
that full remuneration for their outlay which they ought
long since to have enjoyed.... money Market Review.
GREAT STQRI4 IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE. A corre-
spondent dating Sulpertan Park, ..4ndoversford, Glou-
cestershire, Sunday, writes :—" This eonntry has been
visited by one of the most • awful. storms on record.
Yesterday, about half-past one.. o'clock, r was going tp,
Cheltenham on my way.to London, and at Dowdeswall,
about four miles from. Cheltenham, I was met by an
awful thunderstorm. with
,hail as large:as nuts. . How
my horse faced ft I know not. I thought I should have
lost my breath. I was driving my gig, and my hands
were much cut. The. whole country, 'for about three
• miles, was quite white, the hailstones being several
inches deep, in some pieces nearly a foot deep. When
I returned, about the hours after,- they were four and
five inches deep in places. The cold on Friday was very
.great. •Thearops are cut about very much, and it will
tend to lessen the yield of a-most defective harvest."
_GOVERNMENT ENIWILATION.—The assisted unnsigra-•
tient° the colony of Victoria from July, 1862,10 the
end of 1858 amounted t 0,82,512, of whom. 32,19 were
males and 50,314 females. This number includes only
those who had arrived in the colony before the end
1858 ; and if we add tlmiliwho loft this country, b'it
hAd not arrived before the. dof the. year, the tailijbers
would be 32,473 males and 5:/,592 females. L'.,st year
the Emigration Commiesioners sent out no s'..ngle men,
with the exception of I,Fewho accompanied eaeir families ;
the whole number of- males, including 'married persons
and children, proceeding -in the Coenmissioners' ships
did not amount to more than 336, -e,vhile the number
females, wa5.4698, of whom 1,357 were single women..
It thug appears: that since Zuly, 1851, the minaber of
females. in the assisted immigration has exceeded the
number of males by 20,481. .

A -WOMAN TIED IN THE 'WOODS FOR Two DAYS.—
We are told that on Thursday, a train of circumstances
happened in the Township of Dover East, which well
nigh ended fatally for at least one of the parties con-
cerned. It seems that in the quarter referred to, there
resides in • the bush a nest of degraded characters, con-
sisting of two or three men and a number of girls, the.
latter named Hackett. This locality is frequented by
the very scurry of Christendom. On the day above men-
tioned a general tournament took place in the vicinity
of the Hackette lodgings, and a general _tight ensued
between the females and the males. The upshot of it
was, that two of the men present took one of the Hackett
girls oti into the woods and there tied her to a tree.
here she was left for nearly two days, when she was
disoovered by a Frenchman who was passing that way.
Of course relief was at once offered, end speedily the was released from her uulheasant position. Bat.
much to the Frenchman's surprise just as he was going
away, he heard the crack from a ride ball whiz past his
body "which vera mooch scare me."—Mathem Plauet,
