LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 29.

To the last moment of his brief and hurried
visit to this country, GARIBALDI has sustained all
the dignity, the prudence, the reserve of be-
haviour and conduct which is vulgarly supposed
to be the exclusive attribute of responsible states-
men and professional diplomatists. All parties
and classes were prepared to find in him the most
chivalrous of soldiers and the purest of patriots
—the very type and living image of romantic
heroism and transcendent virtue. Every man,
woman, and child in these islands had heard
or read of his splendid daring, his match-
less feats of arms, his glorious suc-
cesses, and still more glorious disasters, his
agitated and laborious career of duty, and
endeavours ; his fidelity to the noblest of causes,
and to his own good name through all vicissi-
tudes of fortune his perfect patience under suffer-
ings and wounds made sharper by ingratitude ; his
single-minded and entire devotion to his country
and his friends through all the trials of adver-
sity and temptations of prosperity ; his integrity
and constancy of purpose and of heart ; his
indifference to worldly goods, to princely favours,
to the flatteries of courts or crowds; his calm con-
tempt of obloquy and injustice, his proud self-
conquest, his unsullied and undisturbed simplicity
of nature and of life. The legend of GARIBALDI
the soldier, the sailor, the exile, earning his dis-
tressful bread without repining, the victorious
chief of volunteers, the patriot leader, and
loyal insurgent struck down by the soldiers of
a sovereign for whom he had won a kingdom, was
familiar as any page of English history to us all.
Admiring curiosity alone might well send multi-
tudes rushing out to welcome such a man to such
a land as ours. But it was not curiosity alone
that beleaguered and beset GARIBALDI from
Southampton to the little port of Fowey with
more than royal honours. It was the ardent, in-
stinctive, heartfelt goodwill of a people who, in an
age of bad examples and base idolatries, were still
clearsighted enough to discern in the great Italian,
the good true likeness of their own noblest fore-
fathers—the ancestors of English freedom. But if
the curiosity and goodwill of multitudes were ready
to salute the coming of Gaaresun, how easily
might public indifference have attended his de-
parture ! All nations are more or less Athenian in
their impatience of hearing ARISTIDES called " the
" Just," for many days together. GARIBALDI himself
could not have worn out his welcome ; but might
not public interest and admiration have begun to
languish had the ceremonies and compliments of
reception been too long protracted 1 Some of his
warmest friends, it seems, have thought so ; and
they contemplate with a satisfaction, mingled only
with natura regret, what other friends, more
ardent, but less considerate perhaps, deplore with
bitterness as a premature separation. Assuredly
GARIBALDI has taken leave of England in a rapture
of emotion almost akin to that with which Othello
met his bride at Cyprus—

. . . If it were glow to die,
"Twere now to be most happy ; for I fear
My soul bath her content so absolute,
That out another comfort like to this
Succeeds in unknown fate.

Nothing, we are persuaded, has marred the hap-
piness of such a meeting, unless, indeed, it be the
keener pang of parting from friends so dear and
true. He sails away from us on the very top of
the tide of public enthusiasm ; he disappears from
us in the flush of a very honeymoon of
passionate honours. He goes back to Italy
with an immense accumulation of renown,
not ea the brilliant soldier (for he lacked no
laurels), but as the most energetic and influential
representative of his country that ever came to
England since CAVOCR died. it is not only that
GARIBALDI has wrought upon the heart of the
English people with a most potent and resistless
personal fascination, and charmed all who have
had the honour and happiness to approach him .It
is not only that he has taken captive the capricious
sympathies of tlr most exclusive aristocracy in
the world. It is that he has surprised the moat
cautious and conservative statesmen by the ad-
mirable instinctive wisdom and discernment with
which he has addressed himself to the observation
of the vital and permanent conditions of order and
stability in a highly organized political society,
and in a country where freedom is the basis of all
the institutions of the State.

Those who knew GARIBALDI best were probably
the least astonished at the consummate tact and
discretion of his reply to the Italian Committee
at the Crystal Palace. For they knew him,
although nothing if not a soldier, to be in heart
and soul • man of peace ; although by fate and
the necessities of his country • revolutionist, in
all the habits of his life a man of order and
duty and quiet labour. His political enemies
—the enemies of his country—speak of
him as a demagogu as the dictator of • mob.
Let those shameless calumniators read his parting
address to the people of England, and mark how
with fervent gratitude and affection he holds up
Kneen(' as an example and a hope to Italy;

how he proposes to the emulation of life -fellow
countrymen the English respect for L►w, the
strength, the decorum, the activity, the persever-
ance of English public life. Doubtless, this striking
testimony will not make GAR/BALDI'S name lees
odious to despotic governments; but it will only

I give offence to uneasy consciences. GAILISALDee
parting address is not in any Penes a
manifesto ; it is nothing more nor leas than
the simple, honest wilailing of a full heart. In
language as sincere and unexaggerated as it is
respectful, he tells the English people that he has
nothing to reveal that they do not know. "They
" know what Italy desires. Italy has made up
" her mind to exist; she has the right to do so.
66 .
. . . Italy desires but to break the yoke
"of the adverse Powers that oppress her." Such
are " the legitimate aspirations and the irrevocable
" resolved" of his oountry—as legitimate as the re-
solve of the English people, " who would rather
" disappear under the ocean than allow the sacred
" soil of their country to be violated by a foreigner."
Is there anything revolutionary or dangerous, any-
thing exorbitant in such a declaration as this
Is there a tone or an accent in the
words that should jar upon the ear of the most
timid of English politicians t And if, GLRIBALDI
adds, it is for Italy to show herself strong and in-
dependent of enslaving alliances, England will not
hesitate to prefer the alliance of a young free
nation, to an insecure union with despotic
powers. He emphatically repudiates the
principle of solving the Italian question, or
any other, by diplomatic compensations.
He is content to rest the claims of his country on
the broad principles of right and justice. There
is surely nothing visionary, nothing wild or un-
real, in all this to our English sense. When be
stepped on the deck of the yacht that was to bear
him away it is said that the real soldier of Italy
was affected even to tears. May we promise him
that such tears have not been idly shed, though
they welled up from the "depth of some divine
" despair" ?

THE SEAT OP THE UNDER-SECRETARY OP

STATE.

This morning was issued the second report of the
select oommittee appointed to inquire whether the Coder.
Secretary of State who was last appointed to that office (the
Marquis of Hartington) thereby vacated him seat. The re-
solution reported to the house is :—" That it is the opinion
of this committee that the seat of the Under-Secreary of
State last appointed is not vacated." It appears that on
Toesday Mr. W. Vernon Harcourt and Mr. Fitzjamse
Stephen appeared before the committee as counsel
for the Marquis of Hartiogton, and Messrs. H. and
T. W. Toogood u agent.. Mr. Vernon Harcourt
was heard on behalf of the Marquis of Hartington,
and contended that ualerascretaries of state were
not within the statute of the 6th of Anne, or of the
act known as Burke's Act, and that the acts of 1855 and
1838 did not contemplate the vacating of the seat. On
Wednesday the Attorney-General moved " that the seat of
the Under-Secretary of State last appointed is not v►.
eated ;" to which as amendment was moved by Sir Hugh
Cairns, to the effect that the office to which the Marquis
of Hartington was appointed was a new office of place or
profit under the crown within the meaning of section 25 of
the 6th of Anse, o. 7. For this amendment there were five
votes—viz., Mr Disraeli, Mr. Walpole, Sir H. Cairns,
Mr. Gathers' Hardy, and Lord Robert Cecil. Against it
there were seven—viz, Sir G. Grey, the Attorney-General,
the Lord Advocate, the Attoroey-General for Ireland, Sir
W. Heathoote, Mr. Hunt, sad Mr. Dodson. When the
main question was put, Mr. Hunt went over to the " Oppo-
sition," which made the votes equal, whereupon the chair.
man, Mr. Massey, declared himself with the ayes, and it
was agreed that the reeolution already referred to be reported
to the house.

faults," sad then goal on to enumerate those with which he
has been charged. He absolutely wean a red shirt when be
might have • uniform, with a eoekeel hat mad feather. He
Is poor when he might he rich. He is Independent when,
with a little eervility, he might be • slave, and highly paid,
too; sad, finally, he is • revolutionist. "To be sure,"
says the Cherapori, "Italy des owe something to the :evo-
lution ; nay, even France, in the minim of limey, la •
gainer by several of those movements, but still—• re►olu-
tionist. He must be mad, so, away to Bioftre with the
Italian patriot"

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE SLESWIG INVASION.

The Prussia/us have in part reconstructed
the fortifications of Duppel, having closed up
the gorges of the bastions, and mounted
them with rifled cannon. They have built on
the coast • number of batteries, which
command the strait of Alsen, and can fire on the
Danish vessels. According to the Borsenhalle of
Hamburg, the King of Prussia has ordered Marshal
Wrangel and Prince Frederick Charles to follow up
military operations with energy, and to gain pos-
session of the island of Alsen as soon as possible.
The Austrian squadron will soon be in a position
to take part in the war. On Sunday last three
vessels of that power left Brest, the Schwarzenberg
frigate, a corvette, and the Seehund gunboat. They
proceeded towards the German Ocean. A Danish
' squadron, composed of the Niels Juels frigate aril
the Steindal and Denmark corvettes, are in waitin
for them off Heligoland.

AN ETENTNO EDITION OF THE " MONITEUR."—
The Moniker of yesterday anaceneme that on and after Ist
of next May it will issue an evening edition consisting of two
pages. The new journal will be published at 5 o'clock, in time
for the country and fareign mails. The object of the even-
ing Moniteur is to "ensure to the government more rapid
and more frequent communications with the public." It will
not in any way modify the character of the morning edition.
The price is fined at five centimes (one halfpeoay) per num-
ber. " The lemmas of the prim of this paper," says yenter•
day's Mesa:cur, "indicates that is it specially intended to
penetrate into places hitherto closed to the official journal.
It will enable the inhabitants of the towns and of the coun-
try to become acquainted with the affairs of the empire,
while obtaining their information from an authentic source."

A correspondent, writing from Rome on the
20th, says :—" I witnessed • singular ceremony this
morning at the church of St. John Laterao, being the
solemn instalment of the Preach Ambeeneslor, by proxy
for the Emperor Napoleon 111., as Brat canoe of that most
venerable chapter. It bad been canton:airy during many
centuries for the Kings of France to assume that title, and
to contribute an annual sum to the funds of the chapter. Na-
poison having decided to revive this custom, interrupted by
revolutions and republican rigime, was invested by proxy with
the canonical character, dignity, and rights this morning, end
will henceforth pay 20,000 fr. • year to the chapter. The
ceremony was a very long one, attended by plenty of
diplom►tists and ecelesiestical dignitaries, and the Count de
Sufism was kept kneeling nearly all the time, the fatigue
of which unwontedly prolonged positioe made him look
occasioeally rather distrait, in spite of the beauty of the
mule and his own newly-acquired importance as ' Primo
Canonieo.' •

The Hamburg and American Company's steam-
ship Tentonis, from New York on the 16th neat., eirived
off the Needles late lad night. Her news has been anti-

44:

THE KXHIBITION OF THE ROYAL
ACADEMY.

PRIVATE VIEW.-(THIS DAY.)

The private view of the annual exhibition was
given to-day, previous to the opening to the public
on Monday next.

The exliibition will be found one of unusual in-
terest, notwithstanding that some of the acade-
micians who are occupied in the large works in
fresco at the Palace of Westminster have not been
able to contribute, and Mr. Frith is necessarily
absorbed in the completion of his great picture of
the Royal Marriage.
Sir Edwin Landseer has oome out fresh in all the
power of his pencil, with his really grand picture of
white Polar bears in the arctic regions, tearing the
tattered remnants of some wretched shelter of an
arctic voyager. One munches a rib, the other
team the rags of clothing ; the telescope and bit of
a pocket-book suggesting the last of the brave ex-
plorer. The title given to this fine work is " Man
proposes, God disposes."
Mr. Phillip, R.A., has contributed one of his
most important pictures, a work which loss occupied
some years, and was begun in Seville at the time
when the artist entered upon those Spanish sub-
jects which have gained him so much repute. This
subject is founded upon the belief that when infants
die they are transported to Heaven without passing
through purgatory, a belief probably not peculiar
to Spain. However, in this country the death of
an infant is the occasion for a fete, something after
the manner of an Irish wake, when the little inno-
cent is laid out in very simple state, with flowers
and a few lighted tapers, in a room where the poor
mother weeps and mourns her loss at the entrance.
In the street are the visitors keeping up a scene of
the moat festive and almost riotous fun.

Mr. Millais, R.A., in 13, "My Second Sermon,"
has supplemented his most happy thought of "The
First Sermon" by a companion picture of the same
dear little girl at church in the same pew, but
under the influence of her second sermon. The
novelty and the mystery have been too much for
her, and she has yielded to the deep sleep of happy
childhood. His other pictures are portraits of two
little girls before a bowl of gold fish • and • young
lady in a riding-habit, called "Charlie is my
darling" (118).
Mr. Elmore's (R.A.) "Excelsior" (424) is a re-
markble study in oolour, and the figure is weU drawn
and finely conceived, although it is not everyone who
will be disposed to accept this wild and dark-looking
Italian with his immense crop of bushy black hair,
as Longfellow's ideaL Dressed in a rich toned
purple tunic, he mount* the hill, raising the splendid
golden-coloured standard to the sky. The expres-
sion of the head is not remarkable at the first glance,
it requires to be thought over before perceiving the
full meaning of the painter. Mr. Elmore's smaller
work resembles somewhat his picture of a nun
in last year's exhibition. In this, we have •
party of nuns in the garden of the convent,
simply enjoying the simplicities of a gossip about
worldly trifles under the shadow of the dark yew
trees ; but • charming touch of sentiment is given
in one of the nuns, who has walked away along the
smooth gravel path, and stands at the grave of a
sister, upon which hang wreaths of immortelles,
and bright flowers grow. The look of resignation
with sorrowful affection in her face is most sweetly
rendered. The painting throughout this picture is
singularly delicate and finished, remarkable espe-
cially for the art with which heaviness has been
avoided, where so much black iu the sombre robes
and the equally sad looking trees, enters into the
picture.
Mr. Poole, R.A., is seen to greater advantage
than in many of his later works, in his " Lighting
the Beacon on the coast at the sight of the Spanish
Armada " (320).
Mr. Hook, R.A., has most happily changed his
theme from fishermen to the miners in Cornwall.
The picture of the miner riding on a truck down the
incline of the railway that goes to the mine under
the sea, and saying good bye to his pretty wife and
childreu, is delightfully natural and touching in its
simple truthfulness.
Mr. D. Roberta, R.A., has one or two good
interiors, and Mr. Stanfield, RA., contributes a
very fine upright landscape with figures, while Mr.
Lee, R.A., has at least one good picture in his view
of Gibraltar from Algeciras.
Mr. F. Goodall, R A., exhibits his diploma pic-
ture, a masterly group from his portfolio of studies
(294), "A Nubian, playing and singing ." also, a
large work (397),2 "The Messenger for Sinai at the
Well of Moses."

Mr. Ward, R.A., exhibits only one small but
highly interesting picture of the late Mr. Thackeray
in his study, painted from his sketch done some
years ago, and an excellent likeness.
"The Landing of the Princess of Wales at
Gravesend " (337), by H. O'Neil, A.R.A. The gay
and interesting scene of the Prince of Wales meeting
his beautiful betrothed, as she came like a young
Queen of Ocean, with the fresh free air and the bright
sunshine of an early spring morning, has been most
happily represented by the painter. The Prince
stands, with the Princess on his right, nearly in
the centre of the picture, the King and Queen of
Denmark being close behind them with their atten-
dants, and the distinguished retinue of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales. The Princess
Alexandra is dressed in violet-coloured silk, and
smiles gently as she looks to the company of pretty
maidens on each side in white muslin and
scarlet bunions, with shepherdess' straw hats,
who curtsey and scatterprimroses and violets at her
feet from their rustic baskets, the Prince
looking pleased with this graceful welcome,
and with the lusty cheers of the crowds
that fill the raised seats on the pier.

Mr. Ansdell, A.R.A., exhibits two very original
pictures from his favourite subjects of landscape
and cattle, and each the opposite of the other in
character. The Highland "Spate" (No. 231) is full
of movement and excitement, with the Highland
shepherds striving to save their sheep from the
sudden flood that has broken in upon the lower
ground, and rushes along carrying everything
before it in the dark and foaming stream of peaty
water. The men are wading in the flood carrying the
sheep, that look wild and scared with the rushing
of the wind and the torrent. The other cattle
piece is beautifully calm and peaceful ; simple
yet highly picturesque. Two cows are stand-
ing on the sandy shore of Lancashire ;
a party of fishermen bringing in their nets give
pleasant variety and life to the otherwise tame
view. The sky in this picture is wonderfully full
of light and air, though scarcely a bit of blue is
visible. Two Spanish subjects, one of the dusty
but fertile plains near Seville, with sheep and a
peasant group of figures with a donkey, the other
a view near Rods, with • most picturesque and
admirably-well studied group of market people and
their donkeys halting near an old castle.

Mr. J. F. Lewis, A., contributes tome of the
most astonishing examples of high finish with
the most accurate study of Oriental life and
costume that even he has ever achieved. One
of these (110), "The Courtyard of the house of the
Coptic Patriarch at Cairo," is a perfect marvel of
beautiful colouring in the polished marble pave-
ment, the clear water, the acacia tree with the
pigeons flying about in its branches, and the splea•
did dresses of the Arabs with their camels.

The aspirants to the rank of academician fairly
divide the interest with those whose pictures are
here named. Mr. Leighton's principal picture
is a large work with full-length figures,
representing Dante in exile (No. 194). We
are to suppose the poet in the streets of
Verona, standing near the entrance to a grand'
palazzo, looking rapt in his thoughts, and
taking no notice whatever of the motley groups on
each side of him. His face, however, wears a
bitter look of disgust beneath the loftier expression
of conscious dignity and power at all this pomp
and vanity passing in the crowd—at the dandy in
a dress of peacocks' feathers ; the beautiful lady
with the little child decked with garlands ; the old
courtier, and the pastryoooks bearing their luxu-
ries—all eager to enter the palano and enjoy
the splendid entertainment within, which, we see
throurh the portico, has begun. On the other
side of Dante is a young soldier, with the
court jester in all his gaudy colours, and a figure

who seems to be wondering bow it happens
that the great poet is exiled while the buffoon is
courted. In the picture of " Orpheus and Eury-
dice" (217), the artist would seem to have
intentionally taken his idea from the Opera stage;
the lovers are represented at the fatal moment
when Eurydice has looked upon the face of Orpheus
and is about to fall lifeless in his arms. In
this work also the figures are life size, though not
full length. The smaller picture, however, will
be quite as much admired as these large and more
ambitious works. " Golden Hours" (No. 293), an
Italian musician playing the clavicon to a fair-
haired lady, who leans over him listening with

Mr. Calderon's "Burial of Hampden" is a most
impressive picture, the coffin is seen at the church
door borne by bin fellow soldiers, who all join in
singing the 90th Psalm.
One of the most striking pictures in the collection
is "The Norwegian Duel" (542), by A. Tidemand,
the painter whose works excited so much attention
at the International Exhibition.

Amongst many other interesting pictures by the
rising painters of the day will be noticed Mr. E.
Crowe's picture of "Luther nailing his Theses on
the Church-door of Wittenberg' (360) ; Mr.
Yeames' "Henrietta Maria after landing at Bur-
lington Bay " (477) ; Mr. Prinseps' " Benedict and
Beatrice" (560) ; Mrs. Ward's "Young Princes in the
Tower (565) • Mr. W. J. Webb's Shop in Jeru-
salem " (383 ; and Mr. Marks' " Doctors Differ "
(326). The portraits seem to have broken out
more obtrusively than ever ; they stare, and
threaten, and smirk from every corner.
As to the sculpture, with the exception of Mr.
Leifchild's large seated figure, " Erinna" (870),
and some few of the busts, it has sunk to an almost
contemptible display.
