NAPLES.

Letters from Naples to the 27th ult. state that
the new Ministry formed by Garibaldi comprises
Signor Bianco Guira and Ferronni.

The deputation from Sicily has arrived at Turin.

GARIBALDI.

The Times observes there is no chance just yet
of Garibaldi reaching Rome or Venice. The fear
rather is lest he should find himself unable to
perform what the friends of Italy still look to
him to do. He must not allow himself to be
beaten out of the Peninsula by the King of
Naples. He must not lose what he has already
gained. He is in a strait, out of which Victor
Emmanuel can alone help him.

ENGLAND AND THE ITALIAN QUESTION.
The Daily News asks how is it that British
diplomacy is found speaking in a language unheard
from i
the mouths of ministers in Parliament. A
British minister cannot have placed the influence
of this country on the side of despotism. Lord
J. Russell, we may be sure, has not failed to
address to Count &ichberg a warning equally
stringent with that sent to Count Cavour. This,
diplomatic note ought to be made public.

THE POPE'S TEMPORAL SOVEREIGNTY.
The Daily News says that with the surrender
of Ancona by Lamoriciere, the Pope's temporal
rule has ceased to exist, beyond the small circle
over which it is upheld by French bayonets;
and
the augmentation to the French garrison does
not alter the character which the Imperial
Government
had previously given to the occupa-
tion.

- The Post remarks that with the surrender of
Lamoriciere's force the temporal authority of the
Pope is virtually at an end, so far at least as that
authority depends upon the submission, voluntary
or involuntary, of the Papal subjects to their
Sovereign in any part of his territory, if we
except the capital itself, and the narrow strip
which the French corps of occupation holds with
a firm and still tightening grasp.
The Times remarks that the ultimate decision
of the fate of the Pope must be with Napoleon
111. There is no reason why he should delay.
He is no longer the puppet of the Church. Per-
haps he may carry into action his own formerly

LIVERPOOL ROYAL INFIRMARY
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE:

The first mectinz of the present Winter Session of
this Institution, was held yesterday afternoon in the
School of Medicine, Dover-street. Mr. Wilson was
called to the chair, and he opened the proceedings by
calling upon Dr. Gee to deliver his ittroductory address,
of which the following is an abstract :
There was a time (said the lecturer), and that at no

very distant period, when the school of medicine and
the hospital were not so intimately allied as they are in
the present day. But, happily, as knowledge increased,
their interests were found to be identital s so thlt, to*,
in close connectioa with the pritie;ip;el itosPita Is in the
metropolis and provinces, there are flourishing institu-
tions for tho education of medical students, with every
facility afforded by the governors for, the
practical
inves-
tigation of diseaSe at the bedside X the patients. By
this means the students are better efitripp'od for their
after destiny, and the hesp.lt!nS furnished with staffs of
medical officers bt incomparably higher attainments.
And, gentlemen, let me, in the first place, warn you
that nothing but diligent and persevering study will
secure you success. And I would urge you to the
adoption of a systematic method of study. If any of
you have formed bad habits, resolve to abandon them.
Let the dissecting room be your resort instead of the
billiard room, the hospital in place of the tiCan, and
the lecture room iti 116. it Otis the theatre. You have all,
I trust, ffaStered the rudiments, and some of you have
Made very creditable progress, as the distribution of
prizes this day testifies. Go on perseveringly until you
have completed the allotted term for study, when it is to
be hoped you will have gained what your teachers and
best friends desire, namely a thorough acquaintance
with the principles and practice of your profession.
Endeavour to keep up your knowledge of class!'es and
mathematics; a small portico of each day will suffice for
this object. toil Will henceforward have to study natura
kience. A knowledge of botany, chemistry, and the
general principles of natural history will be indispen-
sable. In the class-room you will be guided as to the
subjects which will call for your special notice: There you
will receive general outlines, which are afterwards to be
filled up by yourselves. But lectures and hooks, invalu-
• able as they are, will only give you theoretical knowledge.
Lectures alone would soon be forgotten, and so would
minute descriptions given in hooks hitt, ~,riee fami-
liarised with objects by personal Contacl; and observation,
the impression made will be permanent. The science
of medicine is not learned as some handicraft, whore by
the application of the imitative faculties during an
apprenticeship the youth is expected to have mastered
his calling. He then suggested a few rules for adoption
which, if acted upon, would be of material service
during a sttrient life. Read largely, notwithstanding;
but solect those works which will be of service to you,
either on the special subjects to which you are deVOted,
or such as Will tend t,) sti'efigilren your mind, enlarge
your views, and improve your style both of thought and
expression. Accustom yourselves to think and ponder
over what you read; he more anxious thoroughly to
understand one good work titan to read several in a
desultory manner. Let me warn you against a prac-
tice that prevails to a certain extent in gaining infor-
mation through the means of handbooks or mannals
alone. Many of these are good, and all useful fOr refer-
ence. But you should rather study monographs on
particular subjects, and works of some
pretension.
Do not be discouraged by any difficulty in grappling
With A. stibjeCt. Let it not be passed over for the time,
in order to be encountered at some future day; but brace
yourselves for the conflict, and in the exercise you will
find that you have gained an increase of power to con-
tend with future difficulties. To aid your memory, you
will find it useful each day to review the labour of the
previous one. Try to do everything well. In the leattre
room, let your notes be well taken, fn the dissecting
room, hospital) and laboratory, strive to excel. Endea-
vour to be punctual in fulfilling all the engagements of
the session, and so arrange your time for meals and
exercise as not to interfere with any known duty. Be
well conducted—at home, in your class, and in public.
Actslike gentlemen; be courteous and kind, and render
assistance to each other whenever you have opportunity.
Having urged upon you the discipline of the mind, let
me here advise you with all your learning to learn to
discipline the heart. Devote some portion of each day
to the study of God's Word, and let His Sabbath be a
day of rest to you from the
,toil of scientific study, and
be devoted to the high purpose for which it was benefi-
cently given. •

A vote of thanks having been passed to Dr. Gee, the
chairman said, that in Mr. Monk's absence he had con-
sented to occupy his present position. Ile eengrattilated
the young men on the pfofession they had selected.
It had often struck him, and probably many others,
what a self-denying profession this was. They went
into all kinds of danger, and there was, perhaps, no
other profession in which the sympathies were so much
called forth ; and in proof of its high character, they
had only to look at the class of men who were in it.
He believed there was no class of men who were so
universally looked upon as gentlemen, as the members
of the medical profession. At the present thrill the
income of the institution WAS X 3,060 short of its
expenses; and although they might not directly be able
to remove that inconvenience, still they could, by raising
its character, enable it to do anything. He hoped the
young men would show the same delicacy, consideration,
and kindness, to those who were partially under their
charge, which they would expect to be shown to their
own family, or which they would be expected to show
in after life. By so doing, the poor people who left the
institution would be able to say, "We have all we
want." In that way they would return the debt of
gratitude they owed to an institution which was enabling
them to rise in their profession and in life.

COUNTY {COURT YFSTERDA.y.—(Before J. K. Blair,
Esq.)—An action was brought by Mr. R. W. Braith-
waite, printer, 10, Blair-street, against Mr. W. Kean
Miller, for the recovery of £4 7s. 6d. Mr. Dykes
appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Miller conducted his
own defence. It appeared that in August, 1858, Mr.
Miller became a candidate for the offices of " Removal
and Enquiry" under the Toxteth Park Guardians, who
from a number of other candidates recommended him
for the position. A meeting was called; Mr. Pickup,
Mr. Johns, the defendant, and others were present. A
number of bills were ordered of the plaintiff, recom-
mending the defendant to the ratepayers. The bill was
signed by the overseers of the parish, the chairman and
vice chairman of the guardians. The plaintiff swore
that the order was given by the defendant, admitting
that a few days afterwards, not however before the bills
had been printed, that .he directed him to charge the
guardians with the acconnt. Defendant denied having
given the order, and remarked that he opposed publish-
ing the bills. His Honour deferred judgment until
Monday.

COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT. YESTERDAY.-(Be-
fore Messrs. PRESTON and Moss:)—Two young girls,
named Mary and Ellen Brearden, were charged by a
gentleman, named Hammond, with having stolen a
quantity of household goods from his house. The
prisoners are sisters. Mary, the eldest, was in the
prosecutor's employ as domestic servant. Ellen lives at
home. On Sunday, Mary stole the goods, and, with
the assistance of her sister, carried them away. A
constable met them, and took them into custody on sus-
picion of stealing the goods in their possession. The
girls appeared penitent. The prosecutor, in answer to
a question by one of the magistrates, stated that he did
not desire to press the charge. The prisoners' mother,
who was present in the court, received a little advice
from the Bench, and the girls were dismissed with a
caution as to their future conduct,
