The Italian journals publish the following letter,
addressed by Garibaldi to the priest Panteleo, to marsh'.
late him on having quitted the clerical attire :—" Captors,
October 10.—My dear Pantaleo,—lt is not in the name of
Italy alone, but is that of all humanity, that I thank you
for the courageous resolution you have adopted to cast off
the uniform of the enemies of liberty tad of progress. To
women first, and next to generous priests like yourself, it
belong to deliver Italy from an institution which, if bene-
ficial in former times, has sow become a desolating scourge.
The priests' dress was sanctified by Campanella, Bruno,
Arnold*, Sevansrola, and Jgo Semi, but it la now cursed
by everyone.—Yours for life, GARIBALDL"

The famous swallow painted by Carl Vernet on
the ceiling on the Cdg Foy, Paris, is the cause of • law-
mit. The landlord opposed at a late bankruptcy sale of
the tenant's effects the right the latter claimed to sell it.
The tenant founded his claim on the fact that the swallow
was painted after the lease be holds was signed, and the
landlord contends that by being painted on the ceiling the
swallow has become nee proprift4 e. a
fixture. The affair bas been provisionally decided in
favour of the plaintiff, who, shoaled he gain hie suit, will
not have much to boast of, for the original swallow hes
long since disappeared under at least twenty difforeat coats
of paint.
THE STOCK EXCHANGE AND DEFAULTING STATVI.
—The Stock-Exchange Committee have adopted a measure
that will place an effectual cheek ageless any repetition of
the course lately adopted by one of the bassos companies
ie making advances on Spanish account to mitigate diffi-

• fatal railway accident occurred near the mouth of the
Sough tunnel, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway,
and about a mile from Over Doreen. Oa the traia which
left Blackburn at twenty-five minutes past 6, leaving
the Sough Statics and approaching the tunnel, the
Stemma. Ralph Withiogtoo, went on to the frost of the
engine to sand the line. He accidentally overbalanced
himself, and fell on the metals in front of the ad-
vancing engine. The driver witnessed the occurrence
but cold not stop the train in time. The poor fellow's

SINGULAR OCCURRILNCR—A TAMS EAGLE AND
sere Viarroas.—For the last tea years William Pike, Faq.,
of Glandarary, Achill, has had • golden eagle, which he got
before it was folly fledged, and which is csagidered one of
the Boast specimens in the kingdom, perfect in plumage, and
quite tame. It is kept in • large cage, made of wire about
the thickness of sheep fencing. For more than a year past two
wild eagles of the same species have frequented the mountain
over his house. They have on several occasions alighted on
the cage of the tame eagle, and also oo the top of the house.
They are not in the least shy, and, ea no one is permitted to
molest them, they seem quite at home. Last week one of
them broke through into the cage to the tame eagle,
where he remained for • few minutes, and got out again.
On Friday, the 21st, he broke in again, when some of
the workmen stopped his means of exit, which seemed
to astonish him no little. He was • splendid bird, with
• spread of wing of appareotly over eight fast. After
keeping him half an hoar, Mr. Pike opened the cage
door and let bin, out. At first he did not fly, as he
seemed out of breath with his exertions, but allowed
himself to be driven for fifty yards, to a rising ground.
where he took wing. Instead, however, of flying off at
once, be remained poised over the age, but at a great
height, for tee animates. These eagles build in the cliffs
of Dooega, four miles off, la the face of • precipice which is
about I,ooofeet high, and perpendicular. The tame eagle
seems to be the attraction ; the wild ones ramie in sifills,of
it about four hours each day. They chiefly prey upon
which are abundant is the locality. Their mode of par-
seise them is curious. They almost always haat in maples,
and, when ono, the hare is started, one pokes itself in the
air to mark the game, whilst the other twists sad taros
about like a greyhound, within a few yards of the ground.
If, by any chance, the pursuer loses sight of the prey, he at
oaoe poises, and the other takes up the running, and soon
till they Express.
