This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was
formerly station master to the defendants at Dover, to
recover damage, for their having, Si he alleged, wrongfully
dismissed him from that office, and he claimed a year's
salary. Mee defendaste pleaded they had dismissed
the plaintiff on acceast of his Wog Incompetent to per-
form the duty that be btd undertaken, and also that they
were ectitied to &emir him at say time by giving him
reasocable ratios, and they paid into court the amount of
three months' salary, as baser a reasomible and sufficient
uotice of his dismissal.

Mr. Hawkiee, Q.C., and Mr. Shaw, were for the plain-
tiff ; and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Watkins Williams were
for the company.
The jury stated that they were of opinio• that the
contract between the plaintiff and the defeedaste was not
for a year, but for an indefinite period, to be terminated by
reemosable notice on either aide, sod that three months was
• reasonable notice. With regard to the qualities whether
the defendant was unable to perform the duty of station-
muter at Dover, they said they answered that question also
in the affirmative, but sehetitating the word " ;mogul"
for "unable."

THE INVASION OF SIESWIG.

If the war should continue, Denmark will proba-
bly lose Jutland in a few weeks, as Fredericia alone
cannot bold out long. There would only then re-
main to King Christian the Islands of Zealand,
Fionia, Leland, Bornholm, and the small isles in
the Danish archipelago. In that case it would be
impossible to keep up an army of 40,000 men, for it
is not ablebodied men merely who have joined the
army, but students and even pupils from the ool-
loges. The population of the Danish archipelago
does not exceed 900,000, including those of Born-
holm, who have the privilege of not being liable
to be called on to serve out of their island.

The America briny; a cargo of 1,000 tons of mer-
chandise, 300 of which are for England.
On the 17th instant she spoke the English ship
Constitution, steering eastwards.
The American encountered strong easterly winds
throughout her passage.

40th anniversary of Lord Byron, and that the noble post
who died for Greece deserves to be oommemorated no lees
than the divine William ; and Byrom wrote to " his friend
Sir Thomas Moore" not to forget him amidst smiles and

"Austria and Prussia must be very proud ; they

The English government had flattered itself that

would take their seats iu the conference ou the

is not yet quite ready. England, France, and
Sweden are begged to wait a few days longer—just
time enough to take Sondenborg and Fredericia
and kill 8,000 or 10,000 more Danes. As soon us
Wrangel has quite done his work, they will con-
descend to have a little chat ; nay, they will be
generous, and give back to Denmark some shreds
of what they have stolen from her, and enjoin her
to behave well."

East Lovell shares are heavy, and have de-
clined 11. 55., the present quotation being

flatter, at 195 to 200. East Caradon are quoted
301 to 311, being ss. better, and Wheal Grenville,
101 to 1. Wheal Basset shares have been dealt in
at 91 and 91.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are un-
changed. Cape Copper have changed bands at 121,
and Yudanamutana at 3.

The oommittee of the Stock Exchange have
refused to grant a settlement in the shares of the
°tea Copper Mining Company (Limited). It
appears that the company was brought out and
some of the shares applied for as far back as 1862,
►nd that the money of the applicant& was retained
up to the allotment of shares, which occurred
recently, when many of those applicants received
letters of "regret." The operations in the shares,
under the influence of which they rose to nearly
5 premium, seem to have also contributed to the
decision of the committee.

DEPARTURE OF GARIBALDI.

Mr. KINNAIRD—Sir, a rumour has been very preva-
lent the last few days, and has appeared in the public press,
that one of the member, of her Majesty's government has
been instrumental in include, the departure of General
Garibaldi—(loud cries of " Oh, oh," and laughter)—and in
order to avert any misunderstanding I should like to ask the
right boa gentleman whether there is any truth in that
statement ? (Renewed cries of " Oh, oh," chiefly from the
opposition benches.)

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—So far u I
am concerned, I em obliged to my hen. friend for putting
this question to me, because undoubtedly mysterious state-
ments have apposed in the public journals. The subject is
one in which the English people take a very lively interest,
and I do not think there is anything which they so much
dislike am mystery with regard to matters in which public
men and public motives are concerned, sad therefore, with
the permission of the house, I will simply sad shortly state
my share in the proceedings which have Own ries to these '
incorrect and absurd rumours. (Hear, hear.) On Satur-

The prisoner, however, persisted in stopping and aarzia
the gentleman. The latter, after having hie wound dressed,

VISIT TO THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

In the afternoon it was rumoured about the
houses of parliament that General Garibaldi would
pay • visit to the House of Commons at hall-past
4 o'clock. At that hour the house was very full,
and shortly after Signori Menotti and Riociotti, the
sons of the General, accompanied by six gentlemen,
entered the diplomatic gallery in front of the
Speaker's and Strangers' galleries aid were spec-
tators of the little scene arising out of the inter-
ruption of the Chancellor of the Exchequer by
Mr. Vincent Scully, when the right honourable
gentleman was stating the part he had taken in
reference to the early departure of General Gari-
baldi from this country. At half-past 5, a rush
of members in a body into the house from
the lobby preceded the appearance of General
Garibaldi, who, accompanied by Mr. Seely, M.P.,
entered the Peers' Box under the gallery, on the
right of the principal door of the house. The
General occupied the seat on the extreme right
close to the doorway. Mr. Seely having procured
a paper containing the orders of the day, endea-
voured to point out to Garibaldi the subject which
was under discussion. Having remained for about
ten minutes, the General took his departure from
the Commons and proceeded to the House of Peers,
where he stood on the steps of the throne. The
Bishop of Oxford, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl
of Shaftesbury, anal Earl Russell, went up and
greeted him. Having stayed but a few minutes, he
retired. As he passed along the corridors and
through the central ball, he was followed by a large
number of members and other persons privileged to
loiter in those precints of the Palace of Westminster,
who were as enthusiastic and demonstrative in their
attentions as was consistent with the preservation
of order in the immediate vicinity of the legislative
chambers.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

KA RK-LANK -(TH 18 DAY.)

To day's market was very moderately supplied with Eng-
lish wheat ; but the general quality of the samples was good.
Tue attendance of boyars was limited, and the trade was in
a most inactive state, at Mondar'e &elute is prices.
The abow of Imago wheat was by no means exteosive.
Holders of really fine qualities were firm io their demands ;
but the inquiry was restricted to retail parcels, at late ratcs.
Low and damp wheats ruled very dull ; bat so quotable
cheeps took place in their value.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten-
tion, and late rates were with difficulty supported.
The show of both English and foreign barley was season-
ably good. Malting samples were wholly neglected, and
the sale for grinding sod distilling aorta was heavy, at
barely last week's mom.
Malt, the sootily of which was moderate, was extremely
inseam, at the late decline in value.
Good sound oats realised previous correacies. Other-
wise, the oat trade was heavy, on former terms.
The inquiry for barley was steady, at Late rates. The
supply was by no metes extensive.
Peas sold slowly, bat at full prices.
The door trade was quiet, at Mooday's qnotatioes.
Linseed sad rapeseed were is fair request, at full curren-
cies. Most other seeds were fins is price ; but cakes were
• dull inquiry. Cottonseed maintained previous quotations.

VISIT TO EARL AND COURT= RUSSELL.

At 2 o'clock the General, aocompauied by Mr.
Seely, M.P. paid a visit to the Earl and Countess
Russell, at Pembroke-lodge, Richmond-park. It
was generally known that he would visit Richmoud,
and the inhabitants testified their respect for him
by a display of flags. A great many persons col-
lected iu the park, and there were also many car-
riages containing parties of ladies and children. It
is almost needless to say the General was enthusim-
tically received. At Pembroke-lodge the childreu
of the local schools were accommodated within the
enclosure, and welcomed the arrival of the General
by loud cheering. The General, after bowing
graciously to the assembled people, was received by
the Earl and Counts.. Russell. There were pre-
sent to meet the General at luncheon, the Duke
and Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl Gran-
ville, the Earl and Countess of Minto and Lord
Melgund, Lady Gilbert Kennedy and Misses Peel,
Colonel and Lady Elizabeth Romilly, Mr. Arthur
Russell, ALP., Ron. George Elliot, Mr. Panizzi,
and Mr. Seely, M.P.: tovtker with Viscount
Amberley and Lord and Lady Russell's family.
On his arrival General Garibaldi was presented with
a bouquet of flowers by Lady Mary Agatha Russell,
the youthful daughter of the noble earl and
countess. After promenading the pleasure grounds
attached to the lodge, he took leave of the earl and
couutess, and with Mr. Seely departed at a quarter
past 3 o'clock on his return to town by way of
Kew. The General was loudly cheered on taking
his departure.
A number of visitors called upon the General
yesterday at Mr. Seely'a.
