LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 19.

• THE Conference may now meet as soon as it
pleases. Marshal WRANGEL has at length a good
butcher's bill to send to Berlin, and may bind his
hoary brows with fresh laurels. The assault on
Duppel has been delivered with the foreseen and
inevitable result. The defenders, outnumbered by
five to one, have succumbed to the fortune of war.
In the estimation of the King of Parana this is a
" glorious victory," and be celebrates it in a strain
of piety which it is difficult to distinguish from
blasphemy. The Prussians have now only to take
Alien to make themselves masters of the whole of
Sleswig. The material guarantee which the Ger-
man Powers sought will then be in their hands :
though whether it will avail to secure them
anything which they might not have had without
it is more than ever doubtful. Since they
insolently invaded Denmark, trampling down
every kind of right, the special political circum-
stances on which they relied for superiority have
tended to disappear. The mission of the Earl of
CLARENDON to Paris will enable England and
France to appear at the Conference united to op-
pose the ambitions pretensions indulged at Berlin
and acquiesced in at Vienna. Whoever may pro-
fit by their agreement, the militaif insolence of
the Prussian Court will receive a check.

SiNeE the H use of Commons is become the
paramount estate of the realm, it is seldom that it
cares to examine very strictly the conditions of its
authority. It holds the pursestrings of thenation,
it calls the administrators of its property to account,
it reverberates every passing jealousy, or im-
patience, or anxiety of public opinion ; it dis-
misses servants of the Crown who have ceased to
possess its confidence ; it corrects, if it does not
control, the entire domestic, foreign, and
colonial policy of the realm. Under these
easy circumstances few independent members on
either side of the house are accustomed to watch
very closely the rigorous observance of con-
stitutional formalities. So it has come to pass
that under Lord PaLmessros's administration five
instead of four Under-Secretaries of State have been
allowed of late to sit in the House of Commons. For
this grave delinquency the Government pleads in-
advertence, and the Opposition, having only just
discovered the illegality, can hardly plead any
better justification of its own laches. However,
in moving a resolution to the effect that
the law has been violated in this particular, Mr.
DISRAELI unquestionably discharges • serious
public duty, and as the leader of • Conservative
Opposition vindicates the importance and usefulness
of his office. There are very few modern legislators
who have taste, or inclination, or knowledge
enough to test the tenure of the rights which
their Parliamentary ancestors bequeathed to
them. Members who represent interests and
swallow some political creed whole, have neither
leisure nor capacity for antiquarian researches into
the history of parliamentary prerogative.
It is, therefore, to one or two professional poli-
ticians and statesmen that the safety of the con-
stitutional ark must be confided in these days. Mr.
DI,RAELI deserves the thanks of the country for
recalling Parliament to a sense of its dignity, and
expoundingthe forgotten rationale of its power. The
fashion in these later days has been to treat Par-
liament as a legislative and talking machine, rather
than as a national organism, with laws of its
own vitality and growth.
Lord PALMERSTON, in replying to Mr. DISRAELI,
notices with complacency u an evidence of
the development of parliamentary power in this
country, that whereas a hundred years ago there
was a jealousy of more than • limited number of
persons holding high office under the Crown sitting
in the House of Commons, that jealousy is now
reversed ; and it is expected that the principal office-
holders under the Crown shall be present in the
Lower House to answer directly for their policy
and acts to the representatives of the people. Such
is the intent and purpose of the Act which limits
the number of Under-Secretaries of State in the
House of Commons ; and such is the law
for the violation of which a Bill of Indemnity is
now proposed. Lord PALMERSTON pleasantly
rejects the responsibility of this infringement of
the law upon the lack of vigilance in the Oppo-
sition ; but his acceptable apology consists in the
casualties which have befallen his administration
within the last three years. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT
was raised to the House of Lords in the vain hope
that lighter Parliamentary labours might preserve
his life. Lord JoHN Ituassu. received the fitting
recompense of his long services by elevation
to the peerage. Sir Gaoaon Lawn died, and his
Under Secretary, who had also served his appren-
ticeship under Lord Efrain:kr, was appointed his
successor, in the interest, as it was considered,
of the public service. It was through these casualties
and consequent changes, Lord Psusitasrosreminds
the House, that the present Government, which
began with ten Cabinet Ministers, out of
fifteen, in the House of Commons, has
" unintentionally and by oversight " come to com-
mit a misdemeanour in exceeding by one the

number of Under Secretaries allowed by the Act to
sit in the House of Commons. This constitutional
irregularity Is now to be oorrectedby the appointment
of the Under Secretary for the Home Department
to the office which Mr. Lows has resigned, and
by the resignation of the Under Secretary for the
Colonies. The House will doubtless good-naturedly
grant the Bill of Indemnity which the Pima's
solicits ; but it will not the less concur with the
country in thanking Mr. DienAtim for insisting on
the importance to the full and satisfactory work-
ing of our Parliamentary system of the responsible
chiefs of the principal Departments of State being
present to answer for the policy and acts of their
administration to the House of Commons.

GARIBALDI'S SECOND VISIT TO THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.

The malt remarkal)le fact connected with Gari-
baldi's second visit to the Crystal Palace was that,
although taking place under acombination of circum-
stances, every one of which was more favourable to
a great gathering of the public than those which
attended the first visit, the attendance was certainly
not more numerous. Yesterday was Monday, it
was a shilling day, and the weather was most pro-
pitious, and yet at no period of the day did the
numbers present reach 25,000, and down to a
rather late period of the morning the bustle and
excitement were not greater than on many ordinary
occasions.

The following is the list of deputations,
each of which had the honour of presenting an
address, and as they were thirty-four in number,
and as each deputation consisted of six persons, it
will be seen that the General had in the course of
an hour to submit to two hundred and four shakes
of the hand, some of them, it must be added, more
remarkable for their vigour than their respect or
delicate consideration. One or two foreigners
actually made speeches, holding Garibaldi's hand
all the while, and working it up and down like a
pump-handle, in order to give greater emphasis to
their observations. The deputations were :
The Mayor and Ccrporatioo of Dover ; the Mayor and
Corporation of Woolwich ; Public Meeting at Norfolk ;
Public Meeting at Marylebone ; Pidgin Meeting at South-
wark ; Public Meeting at Brichton ; Friends of Father-
land ; Rorwood Working Men Institute ; St. Margaret's
(Brighton), Working Men's Club ; Working Men's Club
(Hastings) ; Working Men of Brentford; Wattles Men of
Brighton ; Brighton Young Men's Christian Association ;
Maidstooe Reform Association ; Streatham Temperance
Society ; Poplar Ratepayers' Association ; Clapham Tem-
perance Societies ; Central Horticultural Society ; Maryle-
bone Vestry ; Shoreditch Working Men's Association ;
Local Orange Institution ; London Unity of Oddfellows ;
Welsh Coogregotional Dissenters; Universal League; T.
W. Cove, Collegiate School; London Mechanics' Institute;
the Memphis Lodge of Freemasons—Grand Orient lodge;
Garibaldi Italian Unity Committee ; Garibaldi Reception
and Testimonial; Horton Friends of Italian Liberty;
French Residents in London ; Pole. Resident in London ;
Swiss Residents in London ; nest the Garibaldi Volunteers.
Tho Lambeth deputation was headed by Mr.
Doulton, the borough member, and the Brighton
by Mr. White, M.P., and there was some little dis-
pute as to precedence between the leviathan of
Surrey and the fashionable watering place, which
resulted in Brighton taking the lead. Mr. Moore,
the lately elected member for Brighton, was to
have accompanied Mr. White, but he made a
mistake as to the trysting place, and was, we believe,
occupied in admiring the relievi in the Assyrian
Court at the very moment when his more fortunate
colleague was preseuting, the address. The
deputations, which consisted mainly of working
men, or local bodies recruited from the
industrial classes, looked exceedingly well, and
must have given the General a very favourable
impression as to the respectability of the operatives
of this country. The Ceutral Horticultural So-
ciety was appropriately preceded by two children, •
boy and a girl, the former dressed iu the fatuous
red shirt and the latter wearing the Italian colones,
and each presenting to the General a basket con-
taining the first fruits of the sessou. Garibaldi,
who seems to have an extraordinary love fo:
children, raised the girl and kissed her affection-
ately, then giving the boy a tine manly shake of
the hand, which the little fellow received with
great fervour and an evident sense of his masculine
dignity. To the deputation of French residents
in London Garibaldi paid marked attention, saying,
"Tell your countrymen in France that I heartily
thank them for the sympathy which, through you,
they have shown for Maly." The coming forward
of the Poles with their address, and their banner
draped with crape, was the signal for the most
animated scene of the whole day's proceedings.
I Tim moment the crowd below ascertained who they
I were the cheering became deafening, and was sus.
tained for several miuutes. The whole of the com-
pany in the galleries and Handel Orchestra, which
by this time was quite full, stood up, and the care-
' menial had to wait until the public bad completed
their demonstration. At last Garibaldi came for-
ward to the edgo of the platform, waved his
hand, and in this way obtained silence
iu a moment. He then stretched forth
both hands, and slowly but distinctly said—" I
implore you, great and generous English nation,
abandon not Poland." The words being caught up
by the persons nearest the platform were circulated
, with a rapidity which the telegraph could not
equal, and the cheering was renewed with a vivacity
and fervour which we have never seen equalled in
a public meeting. Full of his idea, Garibaldi the
next moment, in receiving the Swiss, again said—
" Anil you too, men of Helvetia, do you not aban-
don Poland," an appeal which was received with
immense enthusiasm by the persons to whom it was
immediately addressed, as well as by everyone
who was within earshot. To the Garibaldian volun-
teers, headed by Captain Styles, he said—" lam
proud to meet again my old brethren in arms,"
and to the other foreign deputations be conversed
more at length in their own language. Finally, two
little girls, one the daughter of Mr. Chinnery, of
the Manor-house, Dulwich, and the other of Dr.
Falding, of Rotherham College. presented flowers,
and were received by Garibaldi with his usual
kindness. The addresses, 34 in number, are, of
course, quite beyond the capacity of a newspaper,
and therefore we must content ourselves with say-
ing of them generally that they all expressed the
highest admiration and respect for Garibaldi, and
the warmest sympathy with the cause of Italian
unity. The address of the "Bible stand" was
accompanied by the present of • Bible, which Gari-
baldi received with warm thanks, and held in his
band, instead of passing it over to his secretary, as
in the cane of the addressee.

The ceremonial of the day was now over, and
CE:4nlio were made for an adjournment to the
s ,
from whence Garibaldi was to witness the
play of the grand fountains. A low carriage was
brought to the foot of the staircase, and the
General rose from his chair, and having once more
minted the people, and having again been received
with a universal burst of cheering, prepared to

descend. In the first instance he went over to the
Duchess of Sutherland and the ladies who accom-
panied her,bowing and shaking hands with them all
round, and then stepped into the carriage. A general
rush was then made to follow it, and it required all
the exertions of Superintendents Walker and
Payne, and a strong body of their men, to
prevent the little carriage and its precious
' freight from being overwhelmed. A short pause
took place in the committee room, and Garibaldi
took a alight refreshment, after which, with much
diffieulte, way was made for him to the balcony.
The pushing, driving, and excitement were tre-
mendous, and the patience of the police was sorely
tried, but "the force," consisting of strong detach-
ments of the A's and P's, succeeded is keeping the
ground clear, and after &stormy passage, landed the
General safe in the balcony. At this time the
weather was beautiful, the sun bright, the sky
blue, and the great fountains dashing up their
spray and making rainbows in every direction.
The whole of the grand terrace was densely
crowded, Garibaldian flags fluttered in every
direction, and the band played the hymn which,
next to the National Anthem, is now the best
known one in England. Garibaldi expressed his
aimiration very warmly both to the Dualisms of 1
Sutherland who stood beside him, and his Italian
friends who remained a little behind. The people
below sent up huzzahs without intermission, and one
shout greater than all that went before when
Garibaldi made his final bow and retired
from the platform. His return journey through
the palace was beset again by the people, and this
evidence of his popularity continued without inter-
mission until at last he ascended his carriage and
drove off to town.

A great many visitors called upon Garibaldi yesterday
morning up to 10 o'clock, shortly after which the General
left in the Duke of Sutherland's carriage, se-
companied by Mr. Carl Blind, to pay visits.
The geoeral drove first to the residence of Mr. Carl Blind,
in Townshend-road, St. John's-wood, where be paid his re-
spects to Mrs. Carl Blind, and the members of her family.
Thence he proceeded to call on M. Ledru Rollin, in St.
John's-wood-park, and subsequently upon M. Louis Blanc,
In Melina-terrace, io the same neighbourhood, with both of
whom he had short interviews. On leaving Louis Blanc,
Garibaldi returned direct to Stafford-house. At half-past 12
o'clock the general left Stafford-house for the Crystal Palace.
kie rode in Mr. Seely's carriage, and was accompanied by that
' gentleman, by Riociotti, his youngest eon, and Mr. Negretti.
The Duke of Sutherland's open blanche and four followed,
conveying the Duchess Dowager of Sutherland, the Duchess
of Sutherland, Lord John Hay, and General Ebur. Two
open phaetons and pairs followed, in which rode Menotti,
Garibaldi, Colonel Chambers, and the members of the
general's suite. Garibaldi took occasion, while en route to
the Palace, to pay • visit to Mr. Arthur Anderson, chair-
man of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany, at his residence, the Grove, near Norwood. The
probability of this visit having got noised abroad
• great number of spectators had assembled on
the upper part of Streatham-common and about
the entrance to Mr. Anderson'■ grounds, by whom
the General was most enthusiastically cheered. On
arriving at the Grove, Garibaldi was welcomed by Mr.
Anderson and • select party of his private friends, among
whom were Mr. Allen, managing director, and Mr. Howell,
secretary of the Peninsular and Oriental Company ; Mr.
Thome' Hill, of Southampton ; Mr. Meetly, and the mem-
bers of Mr. Anderson's family. The general, with his son
Ricciotti, blr. Seely, M.P., and Mr. Negretti, having
alighted, partook of luncheon with Mr. Anderson, to whom
Garibaldi expressed his sense of the courteous liberality
extended to him by the Peninsularand Oriental Com pug. Mr-
Anderson assured the general that the company were very
glad.to have been able to place at Iris disposal she accommo-
dation afforded by the Ripon. After the exchange of other
friendly courtesies Garibaldi re-entered his carriage and
left for the Crystal Palace, cheered as upon his arrival.
The general returned front the palace to the residence of
Mr. Seely, M.P., at Prince's-gate, whose guest he will re-
main for the next few days. At hall-past seven o'clock in
the evening the General left Mr. Seely's residence to dine
with the Marquis and If noblesse's of Clanricarde in
Stratton-street. Garibaldi, who was accompanied by his
two son, Menotti and Rioeiotti Garibaldi, arrived
punctually at eight o'clock, and was received by the
Marchioness of Clanricarde in the library, where the fol-
lowing distinguished company invited to meet the General
had already assembled :—The Doke of Wellington,
the Earl Grey, the Earl of Malmeabury, the Earl and
Countess of Shaftesbury, the Countess of Cork, Viscount
Stratford de Radcliffe, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney,
LoriLElcho, M.P., Sir Robert Peel, M.P., the Lord Mayor,
Hoe. Arthur Kienaird, M.P., the Right Hon. James White-
side, M.P., and Mr. Cowbell, M.P. Dinner was served at
half-past 8 o'clock. The Idarchionen of Claoricarde con-
ducted Garibaldi to a seat no her right hand, the Countess
of Cork sitting on the General's left. The Marquis of Clan-
ricarde led the Countess of Shaftesbury to her seat. Later
in the evening the Marching/. of Clanricarde received •
select circle of the aristocracy, invited to meet Coastal
Garibaldi. Garibaldi retired shortly after 11 o'clock,
conducted to his carriage by the Marquis of Clanricarde.

The address of German residents in London will

Mr. Overend, QAI, -Mid in this case a rale had been
obtained against tJolonel Johnson, which he could not resist,
hut be wished to say a few words in explanation
of Colonel Johnson's conduct. It appeared that
a pwaon named DookereU, a bookseller, resided at Durham,
and in October last Colonel Johnson was called upon by the
parish authorities to protect Mrs. Docketedl from the Tic,.
limos of her husband. Re founds great crowd collected round
the house, and at the suggestion of the parish officer, he
signed the order for sending Mr. Dockerell to a lunatic
asylum. It was an important feature in the cue that Mr.
Dockerell had been confined twice before in a lunatic asy.
loin—owe in March, 1862, and the second time it August,
1862, which fact was known to Colonel Johnson, and further
that Mr. Dookeren peculiar insanity was an at.
tempt to destroy himself and wife. Colonel Johnson
finding a large crowd around the house, he, at
the suggestion of the parish officers, unfortunately
made an order for sending Mr. Deana to a lunatic asylum
without actually seeing him, which was clearly illegal, as the
act required, and the order declared on the fam of it, that
it was made on personal examination of the lunatic. The
order further stated that Mr. Dockerell was a pauper, which
was alaoa mistake. Colonel Johnson's excuse was that he
signed the order ander the pressure of circumstance, and
without malice, and he was desirous of making every
reasonable compensation.
The rule will therefore be made absolute, without oppo-
sition, when the ease comas regularly before the court.

the defendant.
It was stated that the parties had been formerly on very
friendly terms, and were in the habit of sporting together •
snot that about three years ago the plaintiff purchased of the
defendant the gun in question for 201.. sod also • dog named
" Bang?' On the 28th January last the gun wanted clean.
fag, and the plaintiff directed • boy to take it to Mr.
Holland, the gunmaker in Bond-street ; but the boy
forgot where he was to go, and seeing Mr. Ar-
nold's name upon the gun be took it to big
rooms. The nest day the boy was sent to say that he had
made • mistake, end to ask for the gun back, and Mr. Arnold
sent the boy to the stationer's to get an advertisement which
he had sent for insertion in the Tines. The advertisement
was in these terms:—" Mr. James Arnold begs to
thank Richard Tinyford Kiog for sending the
old goo, which was safely delivered at No. 118,
New Bond-street, on the 28th instant; but Mr.
Arnold thinks that this kind action of Mr. King is hardly
completed without ' Nag.'" The defendant mid be had
sent the gun to his place in the country, and upon a formal
demand being made ,he tore the document up. Be wrote
that the plaintiff might have the gun by sending for it,
with a receipt acknowledging its delivery ; but in reply to
the attorney's letter demanding that the gun should be sent
home, he wrote—" I shall not send you the gun, for I have
no one to send ; I shall sot take it myself, for I have not
time. 1 shall not pay your costs, for they are not legal?'
The plaintiff was called in support of this statement.
Mr. Justice Wffliams said there seemed to be no dispute
as to who was entitled to the gun, and the only question was
the teoltaiad one, whether there had been • conversion.
It was • wretched quarrel about nothing. It was going to
law for the benefit of the lawyers.
It appears that the plaintiff was the tenant of the de-
fendant, who had sued for repairs, that this action had been
referred to arbitration, but that neither party would Lk*
up the award.
The jury having enswered some questions pat by his
lordship, • verdict was entered for the plaintiff ; but leave
was reserved to the defendant to move the fall court for
leave to enter • verdict for himself, if there was no 'videos,
for the jury of conversion.
