Odgers, and Applegarth, of the Working Yen's Committee,

Bankaide. The general on his arrival was reoeived by the
member, of the firm and conducted over the whole of the ex.
tenrive premises, the various processes of the art and mystery
of brewing being explaieed to him by Mr. Perkins, who speaks
Italian fluently. The general appeared delighted and
astonished at the rut extent of the works and the machi•
nary. After inspecting the warehouses and cellars, the
general proceeded to the stables, which are of vast extent,
and where several hundred horses are accommodated. A
magnificent horse named Baby, standing upwards of li
hands high, was much admired by the primal, sad at the
request of the master of the stables, and amidst the chews
of the stablemen, of whom there are 30, be re-christened
the animal " Garibaldi," by which name it will henceforth
be knows. The general was then conducted to one of the
large warehouse, which had been tastefully fitted up for
the occasion, and around the floor and galleries of which
the whole of the workmen were arranged, and in the
centre was a large hogshead, on the top of which stood
several tankards of " Barclay's stout." The cheering
of the men on the entry of the general was of
the mat enthusiastic description, and again and again
repeated. A tankard of stout having been heeded to the
general, he drank to the healths of the workmen present
He said he was a working-man himself—be had worked
hard for freedom. (Loud cheers.) He was pleased and happy
teems amongst unties men. (Cheers.) Mr. Plymsall then
proposed the health of Garibaldi, which was drunk with
deafening cheers. The general then walked round the
yards of the establishment, which were filled with the
wives and children of the workmen, and bad some diffi.
oulty in getting aloe; from the pressure of the females to
obtain the gratification of aliaking big hand. The general,
however, accommodated all who could get near
him, at the same time speaking several kind words
to the children. After a stay of about an hour,
the general and his attendants left, having thanked
the members of the firm for the courtesy shown to
him. The visit being a private one, few except those con-
sulted with the establishment being swan of the intended
honour, there were not many perAoos assembled about the
brewery on his arrival. He bad not been there long, how-
ever, before the new, flew round the neighbourhood, and on
his leaving several thousand persons hoed the streets ado:
east, by whom be was enthustutically received. There were
a few police-constables only on duty, under the orders of
Mr. Superintendent Branford, and Inspector Heed, of the
11 division. The general returned to Stafford House at 10
o'clock, where several deputations were awaiting him. He
left again shortly after 12 o'clock for t►e Crystal Palace.

TAIL COLONIAL SECRETARY ON TEI COLONIAL
CIICICHZIL—A Canadian paper gives extracts from a des-
patch of the late Colonial Secretary (the Doke of Newcastle)
to the Governor of the Cape, forwarded by him through
Lord Maack for the information of the Anglian bishops in
Caaada. This despatch was written with the purpose of
explaining to the governor of the Cape the altered relation
of the State to the church in the eoloniee mused by the de-
cision of the Privy Council in the case of Long v. the Bishop
of Capetown." The upshot of the despatch. which was written
early in February, as that colonial synods should revise
their past acts, and expunge from them everything that
seems to assert a coercive jurisdiction. The Duke of New-
castle seems to intimate that synods are legal if they ex-
prosily recognise the fact that they have no authority over
those who disclaim their jurisdiction, and he thinks this
defect may be remedied by the bishops refusing to confer
holy orders on an declining to acknowledge the authority
of the synod. Ile directs the governor of the Cape to
recognise the synod so far as it avoids the quicksands on
which its authority was wrecked before the Court of Ap-
