THE GARIBALDIS AND THE BONAPARTE.

(From the Athescrise)

A bit of romance about Garibaldi may help to
explain the hostility of the Dictator of the Two Sicilia to
France, and that of the Emperor of the French towards
the liberator of Italy. The family of Garibaldi, like the
family Bonaparte, is Corsican ; sad the name of Paw
di Borgo or of Louie Blanc is evidence with what
fiery hate a Corsican may pursue his vendetta against
that lucky race. The Dictator's grandfather, Joseph
Batista Maria Garibaldi, was one of those ratnot
Corsicans who gave the crown to Count Von Neuhoff,
crowned Theodore the First of Corsica; and being sent
by the new king on a melange to his mother, Madame Von
Menhoff, who lived at PeddenOh, near Riawberg, in the
Mark Country (now part of West*dia), Genbaldi there fell
in love with the king's sinter, Catherine. Amalie, and with
his sovereign's consent married her. The registry of this
;,we read in • Rhine paper, is still to be seen at
. In the same year. Garibaldi took Cat.hes-
.
to Ajaocio ; but fortune failing the patriot,
;Coders Sad before the Genoa. to England, where be
beanie the idol and butt of Walpole, who traduced his
character and wrote the inscription over his monument in
St. Anne's Church—bewailing fortune
" Which bestowed a kin and denied him bread."
Joseph Battier Maria Gan fled from Corsica to Nice,
where, after the French conquest and occupation of the
island put an end to the last hopes of independence, be for-
got polities and practised as • physician. His grandson is
the Dictator. Meanwhile the offences of the Bonaparte
against the Garibaldi have grown in bulk and in atrocity.
Corsica has been made French. Nice has now been made
French. The old country, the new country, are alike gone.
Mote, the very last home of the heroin menaced. Carers,
the lonely green rock in the Straits of Bonifacio, which
he has bought with his gains and peopled with
his pigs and saes, belongs to the island of Sar-
dinia, and must follow its path should a new " recovery"
of territory to France take place. Thus, the Bonaparte@
seem to chase the Garibaldi like an evil fete, leaving them
no foot of earth on which the soles of their feet can rest in
peace. Who cea wader at the Dictator's doubt, suspicion,
and dislike? /a romantic speculation may be allowed to
close the record of these romantic fade. Theo-
dore King of Corsica, left no lawful son. An
illegitimate son known about London streets as
Colonel Frederick, • man of mark in hie day, pistolled
himself under one of the porches of Westminster
Abbey. The title had been declared by the Conican par-
liament hereditary in Theodore's family, a near branch of
which Dictator Garibaldi now repreients, Thus, Garibaldi's
title to the throne of Corsica is jar as good as that of
Louis Napoleon wall &MD years ago to the throne of
France. Suppose the Italian "idea" should dawn at Ajec-
ale? There are pretender to crowns who have no better
claim from history, and far ler from merit and service,
than Joseph Garibaldi, present Dictator of the Two

Laat evening the eeeeion of the young men's
evening chasm at King's College was opened by an intro-
ductory lecture from Professor Marlette, M.A., in the large
WPM the college,in which there was a very full attendance.

On Thured;:y evening the Very Rev. Dr. Hook,
Dean of Chichester, inaugurated the winter's session of lac-
tates at the Literary Society and Mechanics' Institute with
a discourse on " the Miseries and Results of War as Illus-
trated in the History of the Crusades." The lecture was
heard with delighted attention by a crowded auditory. Dr.
Maocareghsr, M.D., Mayor of Chichester, presided on the
oeciaion. _ _

At Cambridge, Mr. C. J. Evans, of King's Col-
-1 lege, and Mr. Pieter', of St. John's College, have been ap•
pointed pro-proctors for the academical year. " From all
we can hear," says the Cambridge Independent, " theme
gentlemen are both of them likely to exercise the duties of
their moat unpleasant office with judgment and discretion.
The office of proctor will always be unpopular and elver,
unsupported by public opinion, as long se it is encumbered
by the odious and un.English power of sending people to
prison, and forcing them to wear a prison dress, without
first giving them the opportunity of defending themselves
4 a public and open court."
The Oxford Chronicle says :—" Tho long vacation
is sow at an sod, and Oxford sacs more resumes its gay
and animated appearance. Term began on Wednesday
last, and the whole of the colleges, with the exception of
Jesus, Oriel, Pembroke, Queen's, All Soul's, St. Mary Hall,
and Magdalen Hall meet today, so that we may expect the
entire machinery of the university to be in active operation
next week. The number of freshmen is not above the average,
built is generally expected that term will be a pretty full one.
The announcement that his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales would spend another term at this University has
NOM the greatest satisfaction amongst all donee, and his
return after his long and triumphant tour in Canada and the
United States is looked forward to with much interest. It
is probable that his Royal Highness will return to Oxford
early in November, and will remain at Frewen Hall until
the middle of December, when his academical connexion
with this university will terminate. It is understood that
the heir apparent will go to Cambridge in January, and
will become a member of Trinity College."

After spending a considerable portion of the
autumn in Scotland, Mr. Thomas Carlyle hes returned to
his literary labours at Chelsea, " and is now busily engapd
(says a Dumfries paper) completing the second portion of
his greet historical work. Mr. Carlyle was in the north for
several weeks, during which he was the gust of Sir George
Sinclair, and he afterwards, as usual, spent a portion of
his leisure la the society of his friends at Dumfries and

of which is promised for the lit of December. The pro-

Several of the professors of the Government
School of Mines, Jermytietreet, have resolved to give
courses of weekly evening lectures, intended for the in-
structioa of those who are unable to obtain scientific in-
formation elsewhere, and at a charge almost nominal. The
first of these courses will be delivered by Dr. Hofman, the
eminent chemist, and will commence on Wednesday even-
ing next, the 17th, at 8 o'clock.
Mr. Wigan will open the St. James's towards
the close of the month. Mr. Tom Taylor will write a new
play for the occasion. The same author is also engaged era
a comedy for Mies Googenhenn, and a new piece far Drury
Lane. . .

Mr. Webster will appear in November in a new
play, by Mr. Watts Phillips, at Drury Lane.
The Wilts Standard says, " Prince Napoleon hat
week visited the farm of the Rev. H. G. Rally, of Swin-
don, and selected two of the worthy Times oelebrated breed
of pigs. His imperial highness set a good example to hie
'brother farmers.' At 6 in the morning he was at the
piggery, superintending the conveyance of the grunters to
the station. Mr. Redman, the model farmer at Overton,
wan also hammed by a visit of impaction of his steam
plough, and other agricultural implements. The prince
proceeded to the wooden of Broad Hinton. and that Mr.
Stratton was, like the other gentlemen, pleased with the
visit, needs hardly be repeated."
The Turin correspondent of the Monde announces
that the chaplains of the Royal Sardinian Chapel in London
Lays "discontinued allying the usual prayer for the King.',
We are happy to confirm this fact. The disgraced name of
Vidor Emmanuel is not now beard wattle the walls of •

aneeston. S. Aneelm's, we are glad to say, is no longer the

alling him " Old Channel Fleet," and attempting to draw
his bayonet on him, and for having struck Sergeant James
Harney on the quarterdeck of the same ship ; Mr. G. IL
Knight, solicitor, Rochester, officiated as Deputy-Judge

attempting to draw his bayonet, and sentenced him to be
reduced to the second-clam, to receive 50 lashes, to be ha-
prisened in Maidstone gaol for six months, and to be dis-
missed her Majesty's service.
Orders have been received from the Admiralty for the
following additional screw steamers to be built at this

Meted. She will carry 36 heavy Armstrong guns. Her
iron casing will be 4i inches thick on the outside, next to
which will be 20 inches of timber, and inside of that will
be the iron framing of the ship, which will be as strung as
any already used for the largest-sued vowels in the mer-
chant service. Her dank beams are made of Butterby pa-
tent beam iron, and the decks to be laid thereon will also be
of iron. The vessel will have water-tight wing
with water-tight doors ; so that, m case a shot oul be
fired through the enormous casing of iron and timber, the
men may pass through the doors into the compartment and
plug up the shot-bole. Failing to do so, they can shut the
door, and out the compartment off from she other parts of
the ship, keeping the water within the chambers. The
stern-post of the ship is perhaps the heaviest iron forging
ever made in this or any other country. The stern of the
vessel will also be of 011011210ns ntre, and will in addi-
tion be fortified with plating. With the exception of the
ends, which have been kept back by the difficulty in forging
the stem and stern, the whole is plated. Many of tho
armour plates are on the premises. Feathering and grooving
those plates will be commeseed at ones.

There is a rumour that, on the return of hie Grace the buke
of Newcastle to this country, a grand demonstration of voice-
teen in this district will be held, at which his Grace and
his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, will be present.
At present, however, it is impossible to say whether the
report as to the intended visit of his Royal Highness the
Pence of Wales is worthy of credence, but as to the fact of
there being a volunteer demonstration of some kind on the
return of the duke, we believe there is no doubt. The re-
ceipts at the Trent Bridge ground amounted to nearly 30,01.;
the surplus, after paying expenses, will be about 1001.—

LOBB OF Ism BRIG EmmA IN THE LATE GALIN.
—Lava, FIIDAT.—On the 3rd instant the brig Emma, of
Shields, Master Cornelius Stuart, became waterlogged in
the North Sea in a heavy gale of wind. She was laden with
deals, from Wyborg to Ipswich. The captain and crew took
to the rigging, and were exposed in the tops 48 hours. They
were eventually picked up by the Penman brig Pomennta,
and were this day landed, utterly destitute, at Dover.
They have found a refuge at the Sailors Home. The limbs
of some of the less robust of the men are partially paral)sta
from erpoeure to the cold.

THE Loss OF THE STEAKER ARCTIC.—HARBOOER,
OCT. 7.—The screw steamer Arctic, which was lost near
Lemvig on the 4th of October, while on her voyage from
Hull to Cronstadt, with a general: cargo, went down in four
fathoms water soots after striking, and little more than the
deck load has been washed on shore. Four of the passen-
gers were saved, and one gentleman, two ladies, and a la by
drowned, besides four of the crew. The rest were saved.
The muse of the stranding was that she had shipped so
many seas during the gale that' the engine-room filled, and
put out the fires.
WRECK OF THE STEAMER MOOADORE.--GRAND
CANARY, SEPT. 27.—The screw Emmet Warrior, Captain
Cooper, from Tenerife to Mogadore, came ashore in this
bay on the 18th Sept. She had on boanl the whole of the
outward cargo for Rogadore (having proceeded direct from
Cadis to Tenerife), as well as that taken in at Santa Cruz,
and part for this port, in addition to goods from hence.
The specie was raved the first day, and the cochineal on
the 19th and 20th, which, though seriously damaged, will,
it is hoped, be dried and properly warehoused. The bale
which were got ashore on the 19th, are in good con.
iftt. but the others are saturated, as the vessel filled on
that night. On the 25th she became a perfect wreck, but
with the exception of 60 bales the others had been got
ashore. It is doubted if the iron can be landed without
incurring more expense than would justify the attempt.
The daniaged goods will be sold by auction.
LIFEBO.te SEEITICHS. APPLEDORI, DEVON,
THOREDAT.—The schooner Druid, of Aberystwith, from
Dublin to Barnstaple, was during stormy weather stranded
= Bideford Bar on Twoday afternoon. Immediately the
vessel's perilous position wax seen, the lifeboat at A ppledore.
belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was manned
and launched, and proceeded off through the heavy seas to
the rescue of the crew, consisting of three men, and sfter-
wards safely brought them, along with two beeellers, who
had previously got on board the vessel, to land. The life-
boat behaved very well on the occasion. The National
Lifeboat Institution ham three lifeboats in the neighbour-
hood of Bideford liar. Daring the past year they were in.
strumental in saving two men from the wrecked vessel.
Olifton, of Gloucester; Ave men from the Caroline, of
Firwey and six men from the North Take, of Sunderland.
Each lifeboat is in excellent order, arid ready for instanta-
neous service at any period of the day or night.
