PRIISSLL

It is stated, says the Moniteur, that M. Lene,
proctor, of fia!swede', and M. Ritter, minister of
the protestant church of Ostweland, have resigned
their seats in the Chamber of Deputies. Some
others of the representatives who are officials,
believing that their duties as government employes
and the moral obligations imposed on them as de-
puties of the nation are irreooncilable, are disposed
l to follow the example.

When the report of the Russian surgeon Piro-
goff shall have been made public, you will find
what medical men in England will certainly be
surprised to hear, that the ball which has wounded
Garibaldi, having passed upwards, is now firmly
impacted between the tibia and the fibula. It was,
to say the least, a very cunning place to assign it,
and unquestionably the ingenuity which placed it
there is not likely to be rivalled. No doubt it is
perfectly possible for a ball to lodge in such a
situation, but what symptoms could have indicated
its presence there, what external signs there are to
denote it—for it is to be borne in mind that M.
Pirogoff has never probed or explored the wound—
we have not heard, nor, so far as I sun aware, does
his report detail them. If it was necessary to dis-
cover a locality that none of the " seventeen con-
sulting doctors" had yet hit upon, the thought
was certainly ingenious, and till it was shown to be
somewhere else the suggestion would remain a
clever one. Garibaldi suffered so fearfully from his
late explorations—conducted as they were with a
roughness amounting to cruelty—that it is not
likely he will soon submit himself to a repetition
of such tortures. Italian surgeons are remark-
able for great dexterity in operation, lightness of
touch, and extreme delicacy of finger ; but Pro-
fessor Ports is unhappily not gifted in these respects,
and his examination of the wound cost Garibaldi
more agony than, with all his self-control, he could
subdue or conceal. Whatever disagreement may
exist between the doctors on one point, they fully
concur that the recovery will be a long affair—
longer than any of them at first anticipated. Five
or six months is the shortest term now assigned to
the oonvalesoence. Five or six months will pro-
bably decide the fate of a great many other things
besides Garibakli's foot. And this consideration is

already weighing on the sick man : "How shall
I find the world when I next set foot in it l"
a difficult question, and a painful one, too,
for him who desires to have his share in the events
around him.

It is said, I cannot affirm with what truth, that
the demand made by the American consul at
Vienna on Garibaldi for his services in the States
has not been confirmed by the government at
Washington, but that the official who made it has
been rebuked. The followers of Garibaldi, how-
ever little desirous of seeing their leader engaged
in any other cause than that of Italy, are still sore
that a doubt should be thrown upon the value of
his sword to any conflict, and are not measured
in condemning the meddling of the functionary
who has exposed the hero to such a controversy.
The United States corvette Constellation has just
dropped her anchor in the bay. Whether she has
come up from the Levant to look after the Con-
federate privateer or to take in her stores I cannot
say. She is a sailing vessel, but a model in her
way—a yacht of gigantic proportions, and with the
armament of a light frigate.
The Italian school-fleet, consisting of some eight
or nine brigs and sloops of war, with boy crews, is
also here, and one iron frigate, the Formidabile,
a very ugly, ill-shapen craft, with her ports low and
her bow high pitched, has come to try the range of
her new rifled guns and exercise her ship's company.
These ships are all of them picturesque objects in
our laud-locked gulf, and the launches which with
four or six oars skim across the calm surface give
that amount of life to the scene that heightens its
interest, and even adds to its beauty as a mere
picture.

is it not strange why English people, in all their
ramblings, have not hit upon this, one of the most
enchanting spots in Europe ? And is it not wonderful
that men will build villas at Cannes and Hyeres, to
be roasted alive in the glaring sun of summer or
cut in pieces by the mistrale in winter, while Spezzia
is there surrounded with its semicircle of hills,
safe from storms, and only open to the fresh sea
breeze or the bracing wind from the Camelia
mountains ?

WOOLWICH, Nov. 4.

A committee, comprising Lord Clarence Paget,
C. 8., First Secretary of the Admiralty ; the Comptroller
of the Navy Victualling Department; Mr. Gitfar &et-
ches clerk ; and Mr. Walker, audit clerk at Portsmouth
dockyard ; Mr. Pembroke, secretary to the superintendent;
and Mr. Russell, *gnat at Hadar, has just terminated a full
inquiry at the Admiralty, Whitehall, relative to the pay
and position of the clerks employed in the several govern-
ment dock and victualling yards, naval hospitals, dic. The
committee has recommended to the Lords Commissioners of

the Admiralty to place the clerks at the home and foreign

clerks order the title of clerk' only—the Ist class clerks to

an addition of 151. per annum. _ _ .

The Ps' eh*, desp►tch steamer, proceeded to Greenhithe
this day to adjust compasses before kaviug for Gibraltar.

Dmanzas &A.—A letter from Hamburg of
the 28th ult. says :—" The equinoctial pies have mused
peat dieasters in the German Ocean. Yore than a hun-
dred Tamale have been wrecked, and in some cases the crews
were lost. A simile steamer, colts way to Hull, which was
forced to put is here by stress of weather, saw so leis than
six vessels human without being shin to render them the
slightest assistanse."

The Neptune, English line-of-battle ship, which
was is the thy et Nantes, left that sawbones roe the 30th

Whils as we have before stated, the
t,
work of clearance goes vigorously on, especially
in the western annex and the picture
of)ergallery, many of the most attractive portions
y,
the Exhibition remain wholly untouched.
The Italian court still retains the most precious of
its marble gems, and will probably do so to the
end. Cleopatra still takes oounsel of the Sibyl;
and that dancing boy and girl round which
such crowds have collected still simulate life in
the wonderful appearanoe of motion. There is ano-
ther group, a little boy and dog, one of the most
charming things in the court, which people will
now be able to es&—a thing which they could very
seldom do during the crowded days. In fact, a
walk through the Italian sculpture court is now a
real treat, and will continue so until the sculpture
is removed. Even ahould the operation of removal
commence at once, it must be carried on so slowly
as to leave ample time for a careful and comfortable
inspection of the statuary. The Tinted Venus
has been boxed up for transmission to
Manchester, where the lady resides to whom
the statue belongs. We witnessed the process, sad
were quite surprised at the small amount of pre-
caution that was deemed necessary for the safe
transit of so valuable a statue. The figure was
merely put standing upright in a not over strong
case, and was secured from jolting solely by • wedge
before and behind the figure. Should the case drop
from the slings anywhere, we tremble for the safety
of Gibson's triumph. The best diamonds, as we
have before stated, with the exception of the Koh-
i-noor, the only one which might have been sup-
posed to be under the control of the Commis-
sioners, still remain. Mr. Hancock exhibits a neck-
lam, his own property, valued at 80,000/. ; and
Messrs. Hunt and Haskell theoelebrated one belong-
ing to the Marchioness of Westminster, in which are
three pendants, worth 20,0001. each. Mr. Hancock
has still the Devonshire gems, which have never yet
been carefully examined, and every one of which
has a history of its own ; and then there are the
emeralds and sapphires, and topazes, of singular
rarity and value, and which could not possibly be
seen anywhere else. The largest sapphire in the
world, which once belonged to a Duchess of Cleve-
land, was then sold to a Russian princess, and
which, upon the compulsory retirement of the latter
to Siberia, was bought by a Paris house, also re-
mains on view in the French court. The tapestry,
the Sevres porcelain, the ormolu, the African onyx,
all hold their ground, and may now be examined
carefully and at leisure.
Mr. Godfrey and his fine band continue their
exertions for the entertainment of the company,
and produce a splendid effect in the comparatively
empty building. It is expected that tie musical
programme will be further extended by selections
arranged for the instruments of the leading ex-
hibitors.
We understand that the ceremonial distribution
of the prizes is to be an event of unusual splendour.
Negotiations are, we understand, in progress with
an eminent firm for illuminating the building, and
if they should terminate satisfactorily, we believe
the distribution of the prizes will include a day and
night fete of unusual splendour and magnitude.
The commissioners went down yesterday to the
Crystal Palace to judge of the effect produced by
Messrs. Dairies' system of illumination in that
establishment. The Earl of Dudley and party,
the Earl of Cardigan and Countess, Miss Burdett
Coutts, and other persons of distinction, were
amongst the visitors.

Crrir SEWERS COMMISSION. —At the weekly meet-
fag of the Commiationees of Sewers hailitesterday at Guild-
hall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, Dr. , the Medical
Officer of Health, reported on the state of t 7 houses that
had been inspected during the week, and he likewise sub-
mitted a list of 43 places for sanitary improvement. He
likewise that the markets and slaughter-houses
had beenreru'lrinspected during the week, and that the
officers bad sewed 3,1531 b.. of meat as unfit for human food.
It consisted of 24 sheep, 1 calf, 2 pigs, and 21 quarters of
beef; 2,181115. were dimmed, and the rest was from
animals that had died from accident or disease.
Dr. Letbeby informed '
the court that Thomas Hitchoody
a butcher at Huntingdon was tried at the Central
Criminal Court last week, and was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment. The mortality returns for the week are
above the average for the season. Last week the number of
deaths in the City was 58, whereas the average number for
the corresponding period of the fast seven years is but
47; 26 or nearly half the deaths were among children of less
than 5 years of ages and 10 were among persons of 60 and
upwards. The chief amen of death were as follows :
Yhthisis, 8 ; mesenterio diaeaes and scrofula, 7 ; pneu-
monia, 3 ; bronchitis, 3; continued fever, 3 ; scarlet fever,
3 ; measles, 3 ; whooping cough, 1 ; and diarrhica, 1-
making together 15 deaths front tuberculer diseases, 6 treat
inflammatory affections of theism's, and 11 from diseases of
the zymotic clam Only 98 births were registered during
the week.

INTRODUCTION OP COOLIES INTO THE WEST
Iffnme.—The following despatch has been published in the
Demerara papers :—"Downing-etreet, Mb August, 1862.
Sir,—Her Majesty's government have decided that the
time bee now arrived for allowing the introduction of coolies
from India or China into the West Indies under indenture
for five years, instead of under the present complicated
systemo of industrial residence. They have sanctioned this
important change because experience has satisfied them that
with proper government superintendence the welfare of
the coolie 01111 be sufficiently secured without the sate-
the artificial form of contract hitherto en-
forced. of d
edThe fact that five rims' contracts are allowed
in the case of the foreign colonies to which
coolie immigration is now permitted affords an additional
reason for distautiening in the British agonies an
matt which is confessedly inconvenient, and which ailtT'i:C
Bared may now be safely dispensed with. Yon will accord-
ingly be at liberty to invite the legadature of the colony
under your government to paw laws for carrying this change
of system into effect. I need hardly add that the new form
of indenture will only apply to 000 lies hereafter to be intro-
duced. Those already in the colony must be treated in
conformity with the engagements under which they were in-
troduced.—l have the honour to be, Rc.., NEWCASTLE."

PRESENTS 7.1011 THE KING OF ITALY TO THE
ZOOLWICAL GARD 666, itiol2leB Pass.—These gardens
have just received a valuable addition to the alredy won-
derful collection of animal, by the arrival of some magnifi-
cent beasts, the gift of his Majesty the King of Italy.
They consist of two bulls sod two cows, of matchless beauty
and purity of breed, of • race of cattle little known in
England. There were also sent over, at the same time, a
}lee pair of chamois, and two ibex-like animals. All are re-
ceiving the necessary attention from Mr. Bartlett. The
arrival of the larger cattle at this sawn is very opportune,
as they will give the agricultural visitors to the Deosmber

breeds from Italy can be brought. The King of Italy is
making great exertions in the cause of the acclimatisation
of animals, and many have been introduced into his king.
dom. The present magnificent gift to the Zoological Society
marks in an unmistakeable manner his Majesty's desire to
promote the important work of animal acclimatisation.
THE ITALIAN FRIGATE CASTELPIARDO. —The
Gazette de Freeze yenta its inclignatior at the Italian
government having caused a frigate, which was built for it
at Nantes, to be named the Castelfiardo, io the following
terms :—" What ! construct in Fiume, by French bands,
in a French establishment, • monument intended to pre-
serve the remembrance of an engagement in which the van-
quished were Frenchmen ! " But, aa La Prase remarks,
Those defeated at Caatelfiardo were no more French than
Belgians, Swim, or Irish, they were merely the soldiers of
the Pops. They were the defenders of reaction ; they would
replace the yoke on the necks of the inhabitants of the
Romagna, the Marches, sod Umbria, who bad just broken
their chains. If the soldiers who fight in such a cause are to
fight under any banner, let it be one that has no emblazon.
