A letter in the Sil:cle from a correspondent at
Turin, dated the 27th ult.:, makes some reference
to the retired life which Garibaldi is at present
`leading on his property at Caprera. "There is
little news," says the writer; "from -Caprera.
Garibaldi is living a retired life; arid sees ho
&Verdi of his adttirel•S and fried& dtOenod had
formed the project of visiting/him in his isldnd.
Having, however, pounded; the ex-llietatoiun the

fptbieet before setting off; thek were infern3.ed by
him that he desired on no account to be diSturbed
in his retreat; and .that if there was one thing
more- than another that ho- dreaded, it was the
organisation of pleasure excursion for Caprera."
The same correspondent also gives the follow-
ing pa4icUlars respecting some recent proceedings
of the nat. Povermitent at istapieB3, and as to
the • donvddatiiiii and eonStitittidti of tile new

I received from.:Naples:Some details respecting the
occupation of the Fort .of. St.,Elmo ,by the tiroops of the
line,- a eireumskance which had rather, an awkward look.
It appears that the step. Was taken in consecluenee,of
tristirderstandlig of tiiiirePiesentation—of an order
from the Go-remittent. .'lie sooner, however, was the
King- infoinced 'of the fact, than he immediately ;ordered
the fort to be reoccupied by the National Guard, and
M. Tarini spontaneously wrote, to, the commandant of
that force to express his regret at the oecurreioe,.and to
explain to'him the' misunderstanding I have-referred to.
As 'for the demolition of this fort, it appears thht there
is now no longer any intthltion of earryiri&,it out.
. I learn to-day,. from an firideiibtek tieuilieV that the
Parliament will not be specially epniolied' With a 'Hew
to dissolution, as was commonly reported,. The diSsolii-
lion: will he accomplished through the =dim, of a
!leereo whieli ha& already- been signed by die' Prince
do Cirigrian, It is thought that the number :of the
.pettaters .will be increased by about fifty members.
These-new senators are to be appointed on the recom-
mendation, of the general commissioners and the coun-
cillors of :'lieutenancy. It is believed that of these
nominations ten will be granted to the provinces of-
the Marches and Umbria,, alike number to Sicily:, and
the 'ret.nainder will be selected from among the Neapo
litan : •
The latest despatches received from Gaeta
announce that a vigorous sortie was made by the
besieged on the 24th, on -the left of the attack,.
,with the object of harassing the sappers and
destroying the works, and that it •i-as rbet with
corresponding vigour tY,tlie I.3iedriiontese. Atter
a smart fire; iiiid equiii loss on both ildes; the
. • ,
besieged re-entered the, tort. it -is mentioned
that the Neapolitan troops exhibited great tena-•
city, and it was expected- that, several additional
sorties would be made by the defenders;'Nv4h the
view 01. prolonging the.siege acs much as possible.
According tou telegram received here last night;
t'ron Naples, dated the 9.9 th; thig eipettation has
iu one instance, atnll events, been realised. The
garrison on that day made a sortie, in order to
obtain possession -of some positions in the suburbs,
but it was repulsed with great loss. •
Surely the' interests of humanity suggest the
immediate adoption of some means of terminating
such a useless effusion of -blood, caused by the
prolongation of this siege.

It will be seen by the following extract from
the Glasgow correspondent of the llinniteur, that
the Empress contemplated a visit to Liverpool
before her return

Her Majesty, the Empress of the French, arrived here
(Glasgow) yesterday evening: After having spent the
greater part of the forenoon in visiting the principal
plices of interest in Glasgow, she left for Hamilton
Palace, where she williemam for some hours only. She
reckons upon arriving this evening at Ballo* on the
hanks of Loch tioMo, apd tioni thane() she, is to go. to
tirling; ad afterVfards to LiVerpool. After having
been welcomed with every suitable demonstration of
respect in the north of Scotland, her Majesty, on her
return to Glasgow, received the congratulations of • the
ToWn Council, and was so good as to reply in English
to the address which was presented to her by the Lord
Provost. Her visit, notwithstanding its' brevity, is an
event which will long be remembered in that city.
It is quite evident that the Emperor and hir,
government are mightily pleased, and justly so,
with the universally cordial welcome which has
been accorded to the presence of the Empress
in Great Britain. '

I find the following financial information on
the subject of the proposed Turkish loan in the
columns of the Debats, whidh t take for granted,
looking especially to dne of the names mentioned
in connection with it, is not wholly Without in-
tereSt to the peoPle of Liverpool
The,Tarkiih loan i$ dngaging II great deal of atten-
tion. A eiredrtistanee deserving of being noticed is, that the
Tiirkt are now decidedly alive to the necessity of attend-•
-ing to the state of their affairs. FM' example, it is
understood that the Bank of Turkey is preparing .to
give great support to the loan contracted by the Otto-
man government. Already, under a treaty with the
government, it offers to withdraw the paper money, and
it publishes to-day the names of the directors in Con-
stantinople and London. Now, these names are a
guarantee id themselves. Thus, the directors at Con-
stantinople are—VM. Alleon, lialt,uti' A. Stephano-
tvithi AfaVrocordato, Baia, Trieohe, Hansom,
Black, Alaverdi, G. Rubini, B. Rubini, Bidrosago. The
tendon directors are Messrs. Russell Ellice, Gladstone,
H. Gordon, and Rodocanachi.
Let me Conclude with the following, account of
a novel and about the most scandalously impudent
form of robbery that I have ever heard of :
The day before yesterday, about eleven o'clock
at night, a respectable young woman was passing
along the Rue de Larochefocauld, when an indi-
vidual advanced rapidly towards her and pulled
off her shoulder the shawl in that she wore, exclai-
ing at the same, time in a loud voice, "'What
business have you with shawls after behaving in
such a scandalous manner to your husband."
Attracted by the noise, several :passers-by
drew near. "GO away with you, you wretched
-creature," continued the fellow ; " I don't wish to
make a disturbance in the public streets, but never
let me.see you put your feet in my house again."
And upon this he went off, carrying the shaWl with.
him; assuming, at the same time, so much the air of
an ill-used man, that the spectators, fancying that
• some ordinary scene conjugal was going on before
them, considered it was no busiuess of theirs to
.. interfere. Some p•Olieemen, howev". ^oming
we young woman -Nv sham,: ,tau
indignation, implored their protection with a
• flood of tears, declaring she knew nothing what-
ever of the man, and had never seen him before.
The police accordingly set off in pursuit of the
pretended husband, who had taken to „his heels
they soon overtook him, and when they were
about to seize him, he made' a determined resist-
ance, an accomplice, who was a short distance
off, coming to his assistance, but both of them. were

arrested. v It was soon ascertained that they
knew nothing, whatever of the woman, and that
their sole' object was to plunder her of her
shawl. Upon which the rascals were sent to the
Prefecture.
The transactions at the Bourse yesterday,
,
showed a good deal of activity, without however,
justifying the considerable, variations which were
exhibited in prices. The market- for Rentes
ultimately closed with much firmness, at 70f. 35c.,
and the Four and a-halfs at 96f. 50c.

THE Loss OP THE MAGGIE WALK-mi.—The investi-
gation into the loss of this vessel was resumed on Satur-
day. Mr. Kreim and Mr. Alexander were examined at
some length by Mr. Hull. At the request of the court,
we refrain from publishing this evidence until that of
the chief mate has been given. The inquiry will be
resumed to-day at half-past one o'clock.
NORTHERN HOSPITAL—The following eases were
reported here last *night :—Thomas Lycatt, 7' years of
age; of 5.1, Thomas-street, fell down and broke, his arm,
while playing with some ether hoys.—MarY Ashley, 14,
years old, of 4s, Greenland-street, injured her knee by
falling down.—John O'Rourke, 9 years old, of 18,
Regent-street, fell down and sprained his ancle.—
Patrick Murphy, 40 years old, a coal heaver, living in
Carlton-street, was stabbed in the arm with a boat-hook,
at the Duke of Cambridge public-house, near Clarence
Dock.—Margaret Welch, 22 years of age, of 22, Vaux-
hall-road, sprained her knee by falling through a floor.
The above occurred on Saturday. Yesterday,—Arthur
Hunter, 14 years, old, of Porter-street, broke his leg by
falling from a piece of timber in Woolton-street.—Mar-
garet Rogan, 57 years of age, of 94, Prince Edwin-
street, broke her,arm by falling from a window.—Lewis
Winkloll, 25 years old, and John Smith, 32 years Old,
sailors from New Orleans by the ship Bellwood, were
severely injured in the hands and legs, by a math named,
Green. An order has been issued for the apprehension
of,the mate.
STOWELL BROWN'S LECTURES TO THE WORKING
CLASSES.—The Rev. Hugh Stowell Brown delivered in
the Concert Hall, yesterday, the first of a series of lec-
tures to the working classes. As is usually the case
upon these oecasions,•the. hall was crowded in every
part by a respectable audience, chiefly composed of the
working classes. Contrary to the custom which the
lecturer has followed upon preceding occasions, the
meeting was opened with prayer, after which a portion
of. Scripture (selected from the Psalms), was read, and
then the lecture. This deviation was explained by the
lecturer before opening the meeting. He did not by any
means regret the course he had followed on former occa-
sions ; but he thought that the working men were now_
fit: for Something higher and more spiritual. , The lec-
ture was upon " The Third Commandinent," and the
lecturer discoursed with that happiness of expression
and felicity of illustration, for which he is so remarkable,
.upon the proper meaning of the commandment, and the,
ways in which it is so frequently violated in every-day
life. At the close of the lecture, a hymn was sung, and
the proceedings terminated. The majority of the meet-.
ing, so far as we could judge, appeared to rejoice rather
than regret, the change in the conduct of the service ;
and there can be but little doubt that the respectable
working men, who form the chief poition of the audience
at these Sunday afternoon lectures, will be as, susceptible
of spiritual as of moral impressions,
