ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The Great

Interoationel Fenit, Root, and Gourd Show, which has et
been attracting crowds to the garden during the put week, It
was to have been brought to a close on Saturday last But W
at the last moment a collection of fruit sad mote from
Nova Scotia has arrived, too interesting to allow of its so
being shelved from the accident of late arrival. The show et
will therefore be prolonged for a few days more. Of course 10
the perishable articles which have been displayed for more St
than a week will be removed. but the collection of gourds,
which has excited so much attention, as well as the cereals St
and most of the roots remain. Bat the Nova Scotian collec-
tion is itaelf worthy of a visit. It is anal, but the beauty of ge
the apples exceeds anything we bave ever seen. There is Si
also a collection of grapes grown in the open air. It is to be t6C
regretted that the Tulin collection, also of out-door growth, tr
is no longer here, as to have institnted a comparison between
them would have been highly interesting ; the Nova Scotian
grapes being of the same kind as many of the Italian ones. Lk
If our recollection does not deceive vs the grapes of the
southern clime were not half the size of the recently arrived
Northeners.

ANOTHER ROMAN CATHOLIC PASTORAL.— Dr.
Grant, " Bishop of Southwark," has issued the following
letter to the clergy of hie dioceae :—" Rev. and dear Sir,—
I have not been able to ascertain that any of the catholic*
belonging to your Hock have taken part in the meetings held
in the park or elsewhere within the last three weeks, and
I therefore abstain from publishing any letter oo the subject
of them. But if you find any excitement prevails, UP*
every endeavour, in the pulpit and in private, to dissuade
our brethren from doing or saying anything likely to disturb
the peace, or even to provoke angry feelings on the part of
others. 1 send this letter to the clergy of the diocese, be-
cause there is reason to fear that in other places, and espe-
cially in minions where there are catholic soldiers and
sailor., the discussion of the questions that have led to the
meetings already mentioned have tended to produce disien.
non and quarrelling amongst our spiritual children, and
those who have taken advantage of passing events to speak
disrespectfully of his Holiness without knowing bow deeply
rooted is the attachment of Irish catholic' to him, and how
keenly they feel every word that is uttered against him. In
your prudence you will calm these feelings, and will
earnestly entreat our children to remain silent, and to bear
patiently and meekly every harsh and insulting word and
act. If it is in your power to speak to the masters or
superiors under whom catholice are employed or stationed,
entreat them to forbid the mention of all subjects that have
produced this excitement, and explain to them that our
efforts to restore quiet will be wasted until the bitterness
which these domestic disputes have canoed is allayed by
the firmness of superiors under whom catholic' and pro-
testenta are living."
SYMPATHY WITH GARIBALDI.—PIacards having
been extensively posted on Saturday last at Greenwich and
Deptford, announcing that at half-past three o'clock on Sue-
day afternoon an open air demonstration would take place
on Blackheath, opposite the Park-gate, for the purpose of
expressing sympathy with Garibaldi, at the time named an
immense crowd assembled, the majority of whom appeared
to be Irish labourers and roughs, ' evidently prepared for
mischief. Ample precautions had been taken by the police
to preserve the peace, and although but few constables were
present • strong body was held in reserve in an adjacent
building. It soon became evident that no speeches would be
made, and any attempt to express Garibeldian salad-
meets would have been the signal for • row, as'
• large mob paraded the park cheering lustily
for the Pope, one athletic fellow, with • bludgeon,
heading about 200 Irishmen and lads, whom he termid
"the Connaught rangers," from Deptford, and calling upon
the Garibaldians to come out and show themselves. This
invitation did not meet with a response, but • young man of
respectable appearance, who, it was dated, had said some-
'. thing against the Pope, was chased by the mob and roughly
treated, but ultimately claimed the protection of two police

Elizabeth Jeffreys, a charwoman, was charged with the
following robbery at Mr. Henry Hobert Willson's, draper,
20, Ryder's-court, Leicester-square.
Mr.Willson said the prisoner's daughter had been li wing with
him as servant, but latterly sleeping at home. On Satur-
day morning last the prisoner milled upon him and said her
daughter was very ill, confined to her bed, and would sot
be able to come. At the same time she asked to be allowed
to do the work, and this being agreed to, the prisoner came
about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but after being in one of
the bedrooms only two or three minutes she very quietly
left the house by a side-door. Having some suspicion of the
prisoner, in consequence of her maneer, he followed her
and watched her about to enter a house in King-street,
when ha asked her what she had in the bundle under her arm.
She replied "only some washing," but on its being examined
a mantle worth about St. and some towels, which had
been taken from a cupboard in the bedroom, were found,
and on her person a silk handkerchief, all hie (Mr. Willman's)
property. He then gave the prisoner in charge, and on
going back to hie house found that the prisoner had packed
up another parcel ready for removal on her return.
Mr. Tyrwhitt Raid it was one of then disgraceful rob-
beries that he would not dispose of in that court, and alter
tearing the constable (flalford, 168 C) committed the priso-
ner for trial.

Piero A 1341011 i, the Italian charged with stabbing two
person■ named Wardell and Williams, the former of whom
is still an in-patient of St. George's Hospital, was again
brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt.
Mr. F..lward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the prisoner.
Amami was again remanded.
Jobs Mahon, was next placed at the bar, but Mr.
Bailey, the principal witness, not being in attendance, Mr.
Tyrwhitt said he should be obliged to remand him again.
Mr. Lewis said there was not a single person present to
complain of being assaulted, and as the prisoner had been
twice remanded, he considered it unfair to remand him
again.

Mr. Tyrwhitt maid he would remand the prisoner till
Wedoevlay to give Mr. Bailey time to appear, but would
take bail.

disorderly in Shouldham-street, under the following cir-
cumstances

Sergeant Dibben, it 13, deposed that on Saturday night
he was called to quell a disturbance in the above street, and
on arriving be observed outside the Lurie Arms public-
house a mob of above a hundred, consisting of English and
Irish. Fighting was going on in all directions, and his
attention was particularly directed to one part of the
crowd, where the prisoners and several Irishmen were more
especially engaged in conflict.
Mr. Mansfield—What were they fighting about?
Witness +tatod that the mob were calling out about
Garibaldi. and the prisoners and the Irish were saying that
they would kill anyone who spoke against the Pope.
They would not demist, and he had to send to the station
for assistanoe, when both prisoners were taken in charge.
On the way to the station-house both prisoners were ex-
ceedingly violent : the first prisoner knocked him down, and
the second kicked him and threatened to take his life. At
the station, whilst the charge was being taken, witness had
to keep away from the dock, for they threatened to knock
his brains out.

Prisoners io their &hem said they were so drunk that
they could not recollect anything at all about it.
Mr. Mansfield- You ought to be ashamed of yourselves for
mixing up in these Ineh rows sod shouting and fighting
concerning things you know nothing at all about. I shall

labour.
