In compliance with a numerously signed requi-
sition, the Mayor of Sunderland (Mr. Candlish) convened
and presided at a public meeting, which was held oo lion-
day in the Lyceum Theatre, Lambton-street, to expense
sympathy with the patriot hero under his present tem-
porary defeat, and to protest against the continued occu-
pation of Rome by the Emperor of the French. The
meeting was fixed for half-pest 7 o'cl-ck, but long before
that hour the theatre was filled, and though it is the
largest place in the borough, it was crowded to the dome
when the speakers appeared on the platform. The pro-
ceedings throughout were of a most enthneiaatic descriptioo.
The committee appointed at the meeting held on Saturday
have decided to hold the first public meeting to-morrow
night, at the Whittington flub, Arnodelutreet, Strand.
All the metropolitan members will be invited to attend, ea
well as other popular representstives and well-known friends
of Garibaldi and Italian liberty. Steps are also being taken
towards the getting up of • subsequent meeting in the city
of London, either at the Guildhall or elsewhere, according
to ciicurustances. Some of the inhabitant. of Rochdale,
likewise, are endeavouring to get • public uiesting
called by the mayor of that borough. In Brutd
it is proposed to send out a box of linen and other articles,
which may be naeful or convenient in the prison chamber
of the wounded hero. Such • mark of sympathy from those
who esteem and admire the devoted patriot CAlll2Oi, it is
thought, fail to be Dot roily acceptable but soothing to his
feelings in his adversity.
It is stated that Mr. Gilpin, M.P., has written to the
General, inviting him to take up his residence with him io
the event of his being permitted, under say circumstances,
to come to England.

Tag " Low; Irma " tic Kam— A rather
ingenious trick, which has recently been played off upon
several persons in this neighbourhood, deserves all the
publicity which our columns can give, in order that others
may be put upon their guard. There is a .et of swindlers
at Mancheeter, known to the police as the "Long Firm,"
whose niodus operandi appears to be to watch the news-
papers, and send liberal orders to parties advertisiog goods
for sale. Recently Mrs. Pack, of Allington (ludo, near
Maidstone, advertised souse rams for sale, and forthwith she
was favoured" with an order for five. Unsuspicious of
fraud, the animals were duly sent ; but, fortunately, the
Matron-master at Manchester was sufficiently acquainted
with the antecedent, of the purchaser to can-
municate with the polio*, into whose custody the
rams were given, though not until the person
who presented himself as the consignee had been
mulcted of 21 10a. for carriage—a proceeding which he
evidently did not appreciate. is another case the " Long
firm" were more successful. Mr. Brsdshaw, carpenter, of
King-street, having advertised a number of doors, window-
hems', sad mama, for sale, received an ceder for the
! whole lot. Mr. Bradshaw, however, was wise enough
to ask for payment in advance, at which " unusual
request " his correspondent assumed an air of in-
jured dignity, but, with greet maguseienity, he
promised that if two of each of the doors, le., were
sent as samples, the "whole amount" should be re-
mitted, adding that if these terms did not meet with
approval, Mr. Bradshaw was " quite at liberty to
countermand the order." Such (sir dealing se this of come
led to the immediate forwarding of the "samples," the
value of which was some 51. odd. A few days later, in lien
of the " whole amount," a note WWI received complaining
that the doors had not reached their destleaties, and in-
quiring the way they were sent. The worst of the matter
is that the rogues just manage to keep themselves out of the
clutches of the police, the transactions only being in the
eaters of debt. ; and togas them in the county court would
eat Lk; be to throw good money after bed. Surely the
of the ctiminal law might very properly be extended
to include rogues who thus systematically trade upon the
confidence of their fellow-mea.—MancAester Aierwel.
