Or our few national holidays Christmas and
Whitsuntide are certainly the chief. Each has a
well-defined character of its own ; Christmas, the
great in-door holiday, devoted to social gather-
ings and fireside festivity ; Whitsuntide, or Whit-
Monday, the great out-door holiday, sacred to air
and exercise, the suburbs and the parka, games
and exercises, and every form of active recreation.
Good-Friday occupies au intermediate place, and has
a less decided character. It comes at a capricious
mason, which is neither winter nor spring.
The trees are still leafless, the air cold, and the
days short. At Whitsuntide, however, the spring
is in all its glory of leaf and flower, and the holi-
day makers naturally betake themselves to the
meadows and the woods to spend a few gay hours
in the open sunshine or under the green roof of
trees. A week ago there was every promise that
the spring holiday this year would prove unusually
bright and genial. The seasonable showers of a
few days before, followed by warm sunshine, had
produced a change both in the face of the country
and in the temperature equally welcome and sur-
prising. We had, to all appearance, passed from
Winter to Summer, with only a short week of
Spring between. The fine weather continued
during the greater part of the week, and it was
natural, therefore, to expect that Whitsuntide
this year would be more sunny and genial than
usual.

Last Monday completely disappointed these ex-
pectations. Instead of continuing to smile on the
holiday folks, our capricious English sky amply
vindicated the reputation it has acquired for
sudden and unseasonable change. The day was
ushered in by one of the most violent storms of
wind and gusty rain that has recently visited
London. Some indication of the approaching
storm was given in the high winds and heavy
rains of Sunday night. But these had ceased, and
the weather for an hour or two seemed clearing
up, when towards daylight the heavens were
darkened with driving clouds. The dawn was
wild, lurid, and tempestuous, the wind howling
through the chimneys, and the rain dashing in
sudden gusts against the windows. This was
accompanied by a rapid change of temperature,
the mercury falling from genial spring heat almost
to freezing point. The air, in fact, was bitterly
cold, and the storms throughout the morning were
of sleet and hail rather than rain. Farther north,
indeed, and especially in Yorkshire, there was •
heavy fall of snow, which lay white upon the hills
at mid-day. Here, however, the heavy rain
ceased in an hour or two, and the
morning, though still wild with wind, was bright
and dry about the time the holiday folks began to
think of setting out for their day's pleasure.
Though the air was damp the sky was blue, and
the roads, notwithstanding the heavy rain, com-
pletely clean and dry. Hoping for the best,
therefore, the holiday folks set out by every pos-
sible conveyance and to all points of the compass.
But no sooner had they fairly set out, or arrived
from the remote districts of Whitechapel or Beth.
nal-green at their temporary destination in the
parks or on the suburban heaths, thou
the treacherous skies, taking advantage of their
defenceless situation, poured in fresh storms of
sleet and hail. One violent storm of hail about one
o'clock completely whitened the roads, and tattled
against the houses like small shot. In London
the rain ceased soon after, but the violent wind,
reaching at times the force of a heavy gale, did
not abate till towards evening. The damage pro-
duced by the gale in the neighbourhood of
the metropolis is very considerable. Those
who walked through the Parks on Monday
evening saw its effects in the large limbs
and boughs of the beech, elm, and lime
trees that lay scattered at intervals on the
sward. Across the water the injury indicted,
especially on the fruit trees, was still more
severe ; and it is feared, where the large nursery
grounds and gardens were exposed to the fury of
the storm, the recent promise of abundant fruit is

almost destroyed. Many trees have been torn up

by the roots or overturned, and it is as yet quite
impossible to calculate the extent of the damage
thua inflicted. On the river the fury of the storm
was equally destructive. The traffic was for •
time altogether stopped, some of the ordinary
steam-boata not being able to force their way up
the river ►t all. The Endeaomur, for example,
filled with holiday passengers, could not breast
the gale, and after labouring in vain for nearly an
hour to get through Blackfriars.bridge, was obliged
to return and re-land her cargo at London-bridge.
A number of heavily-laden barges were only saved
from sinking by constant working at the pumps,
while the smaller vessels had their sails torn to
ribbons. Collisions and accidents of various kinds
were numerous on the river throughout the day.
But heavy as the storm was here, its fury seems
to have been far greater in the provinces, and
especially in the north, both on the east and west
coast. At Scarborough the wind raged With fear-

houses were unroofed, windows blown in,
and stacks of chimneys overthrown. On the Espla-
nade two houses were entirely blown down,
and on the north side scarcely a window left in the
more exposed houses. One of the accidents proved
fatal; Mr. Pmumnion, a tradesman, in Globe-street,
being killed in his own house by the fall of an ad-
joining stack of chimneys. Several accidents and
some very narrow escapes happened to the pleasure
boats which had put off just before the
outbreak of the storm. At Liverpool the damage
done to the shipping in the river is immense.
Several large vessels, after dragging their anchors
and losing part of their rigging, were driven
ashore ; others, parting from their moorings,
fouled the piers and landing-stages, and came into
violent collision with each other ; while several
smaller ones filled and sunk. The loss of
property is of course very great, but
none of the shipping accidents, so far
as is known, have been attended with fatal
results. Inland the injury to property is equally
great and serious. As at Scarborough, windows
have been blown in and stacks of chimneys thrown
down. In the suburbs round Liverpool the gardens,
orchards, shrubberies, and nursery grounds are a
scene of desolation. Large trees have been torn
up by the roots, and boughs scattered in all direc-
tions. It is matter of no small congratulation
that amongst so many devastating accidents
only one life has been lost—the more so as
the gale, so far from being local or partial in its
action, seems to have swept over the whole king-
dom, from north to south. So stormy a Whit-
suntide we in England have not seen for years.

IDAVTENTIV, MAY .10, 1860.

BOMBARDMENT OF PALERMO.
Two sets of telegrams from Naples, positively con-
tradicting each other, have been received. One, dated
Monday evening, announced that Garibaldi had been
defeated, that he was in full retreat, his men dis-
persed, he himself seeking to get onj board ship,
pursued by two or three battalions of Neapolitan
troops, and that these disasters were owing to his
not having been properly supported by the Sicilians.
Such was the version given at Naples, and for-
warded to Paris.

A despatch, dated later in the night at Naples,
begins by stating that the first telegram, which
announced the defeat of Garibaldi, wag false ;
that a popular rising had taken place at Palermo ;
that the Neapolitan troops occupying the heights
which command the town, and the vessels in the
port, had made an attempt at bombardment, but
unsuccessfully ; that the advantages were all with the
Garibaldians; and that their entry intoPalermo:if tit
had not already taken place, was every moment ex-
pected. This latter despatch is, in great part, cor-
roborated from other sources; indeed, in one or
two things more than corroborated, for, according
to the latter, the entry of the Garibaldians is an-
nounced as a fact.
The Paris Patric publishes, under reserve, the
following despatch :

" NAPLES, MAY 28.

" Garibaldi having collected all his forces and
military matiriel, attacked Palermo on the morn-
ing of the 27th instant, made himself master of
all the outer works, and suooeeded in entering the

" News of a later date announces that firing con-
tinued in the town. The fire of the forts and
the frigates which encircled the port well supported
the royal troops, who were actively engaged."

. _ .
The Patric also states that letters from Genoa
announce the departure of • steamer for Sicily with
5 volunteers, besides muskets, sabres, and powder.
TURIN, MAY 29.

The Official Gazette of to-day publiahes a des-
patch from Naples announcing the arrival of an
English steamier at that place, which brings the
following news :
" The insurgents have entered Palermo. A con-
siderable part of the population have risen against
the royal troops. The city is bombarded by sea
and land. The bombardment commenced on Sun-
day morning, and it appeared that the firing con-
tinued at the time of the steamer's departure."

SARDINIA.
THE CESSION OF SAVOY AND NICE.
TURIN, TUESDAY,

The Chamber of Deputies has approved the
treaty of cession of Savoy and Nioe by 229 against
33 votes. 23 members abstained from voting.
In the Chamber of Deputies, after the adoption
of the treaty of cession, Signor Ratazzi rose to
demand explanations of Count Cavour. The fol-
lowing is a summary of his speech:—Signor Ratazzi
said that he must again demand whether it was
not owing to the counsels of France that the
autonomy of Tuscany had been granted. Relative
to the treaty he said :—" I also am a parti-
san of the French alliance, but to maintain
this alliance the cession of Savoy sufficed. At the
same time I believe that the cession of two provinces
instead of strengthening the alliance, and causing
the Emperor to guarantee to us the annexation
of Central Italy, will have a contrary result, or
none at all." Signor Ratazzi concluded by saying :
—" We may be asked at a future time to make fresh
territorial sacrifices,and it is to protest against such
a system that I abstain from voting."

(foil OUR CM

Count Cavour said We have no guaran-
tees from France in favour of the annexed pro-
vinces of Italy, as we have not asked for any. We
have considered the declarations of France, that
she would ensure a policy of non-intervention on
the part of foreign powers, to be sufficient. France
has not exercised the least pressure respecting
the autonomy of Tuscany. She has limited her-
self to simple non-official diplomatic conversations,
in which we have declared that the antonomy of
Tuscany must disappear. To this France has not
made the least objection."

WEPRESS IRON PARIS.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

There is no doubt whatever of the truth of the

telegrams announcing Garibaldi's entrance into
Palermo, and as little, I fear, that the Neapolitan
forces have wantonly bombarded the city and
slaughtered the inhabitants with indiscriminate

barbarity.
Although not yet officially announced, there is no
doubt of the correctness of the news which I sent
yesterday, that the Emperor is going to Lyons on
Friday to meet the Empress Dowager of Russia
The entry into Paris of General Bauble's division
is put off for some days.
The Prase expresses a hope that the concluding
part of M. Fould's speech at Tarbes will contribute
to appease the sensation produced abroad by the
phrase of the Constitutionne2 (to which I called
attention on Saturday) about the " prepondfance"
of France in Europe, " a phrase which the Nord, a
journal very friendly to France and its government,
has thought it necessary to censure."
It was observed 'lately that the French papers,
while stating that the French mission to Abyssinia
had completely succeeded, omitted to say what the
object of the mission was. The Patric now fills up
the blank. It says that, in pursuance of the con-
cessions contained in the treaty concluded with the
Nilkass, the "principal chief" (sic) of Abyssinia,
France proposes to establish, immediately, a coal
depot on the coast of the Red Sea. " Such an
establishment has become necessary in consequence
of the steam service between Suez and Shanghai,
which will be organised by the imperial navy for
the purposes of the Chinese expedition."
The Bourse opened with a good deal of anima-
tion, but became heavy towards the close. The
extreme prices of the Rente were 69fr. 00c. and
69fr. 50c. The last prices, the lowest of the day,
I were 69fr. 50c. for cash, and 69fr. 65c. for ac-
__

count, being a fall of 10c. in each case. Mobilier
fell lfr. 25c. Credit Fonder shares, which are
hardly to be got, rose sfr. In railways there was
scarcely any alteration.
The Opinion Nationale adopts the statement that
a ministerial modification is likely to take place at
Turin, and adds that one of the new ministers will
be M. I® Farina, a native of Sicily.
A letter from Rome states that the Minister at
War, being desirous of increasing the number of
artillery officers, has given notice that sub-lien-
tenants' commissions will in future be granted to
candidates who pass the beat examinations. This
extension of the competitive system to such a
backward government as that of the Papal States
is indeed a sign of the times.
A pamphlet, by M. Pr4vost Parade', entitled
"Lee Anciens Partia," will appear to-morrow.

The inquiry relative to the manufactures con-
nected with iron was continued yesterday by the
Superior Council of Commerce, K Rouher pre-
siding. Several French and English manufacturers,
representing trades employing iron, were heard,
and among them were Messrs. Fletcher and Wagner,
of Birmingham. The sitting, which lasted till
nearly seven o'clock, concluded with the examina-
tion of M. Marilhat, president of the Chamber of
Commerce of Thiers, and several cutlers of that
town. The Conditutionnd, in reference to one of
the sittings, says :—" An English journal lately
announced that the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce
had solicited to be heard by the Superior Council
of Commerce, Agriculture, and Industry. In
order to represent the facts exactly as they occurred,
we have been requested to state that, on the con-
trary, it was at the request of the English and
French Governments that the delegates of the
above-mentioned Chamber came to Paris, and were
heard by the Council."

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.

(FROM OUR SPICIAL OORRZOPOIDCR.)

GENOA. MAY 27.
Despatches have been received from Palermo by
the Sardinian government, which fully confirm
not only the victory obtained by Garibaldi at
Calatafimi over the 4,000 Neapolitans led by
Lanza, but the more important one, which placed
the heights surrounding Palermo in the hands of
the Sicilian patriots. The first of these victories
is further confirmed in a letter addressed by Gari-
baldi himself to Rosalino Pilo, Count of Capace,
from Calatafimi, under date of the 16th :
• - •

SHOCKING MURDER AND ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE.

Yesterday we fought and won. The enemy is flying
towards Palermo. The populations are in high spirits, and
join my camp_ by thousands. To-morrow I shall march on
Alcamo. Tell the Sicilians that the hour is come to put an
end to their slavery, and that we shall do it soon. Every
arm is good for the brave : musket, scythe, hatchet, a
nail at the top of • stick. Unite with me. Thwart the
enemy's plans as much as possible—light bonfires upon all
the heights which surround the Neapolitan troops. Daring
the night kill as many of the enemy's outpost sentries as
you can. Intercept the communications : in a word, harass
the enemy as much as you are able. I hope to see you
soon. —Yours, GARIBALDI.
As you see, this laconic letter contains all the
necessary instructions for a war to the knife, and
war to the knife it will be. To understand how,
after the loss sustained by the Neapolitan troops at
Caistafimi, the insurgents were able to push their
army to the very gate of Palermo, it is necessary to
bear in mind that the remains of Lama's column
were incessantly attacked by the bands of Baron
Sant Anna and Marquis Fieratura from Montelepre
to the Pioppo. The defeat of the Neapolitans was
so thorough that only 1,500 out of 4,000 could reach
the capital, and even these entered it only by
groups of ten or twenty at a time. The cavalry
was almost annihilated, field pieces were aban-
doned, together with ammunition carts. The
routed column as soon as it entered the barracks
declared it would never go to meet Garibaldi again,
and the dread under which it was labouring soon
spread among the garrison. Works of defence were
erected all round the city, but the threatening
attitude of the population will render them useless
when Palermo is attacked by the patriots.

DREADFUL CRIME. —A letter from Boston (U.S.)
says :—" A terrible crime has just come to light here, being
the seduction and murder of two sisters. A Mr. Tirrell, who
is • Boston merchant, but who resides at Weymouth, a few
mike from town, lately took into his family a yonug man,
named George C. Hersey. At the commencement of 1860,
Mary Tirrell, one of Mr. Tirrell's daughters, a beautiful girl
of 18, died very suddenly. Her death was attributed to a fit,
and exciter' no suspicion. Outhe 3rd of May her sister,Frances
Tirrell, aged 24, and who was engaged to be married to
Mr. Hersey, died with the same suddenness. Even this did
not create suspicion; but the family thought it pmper to
ascertain whether she had any organic disease ; and the
family physician performed an autopsy. He discovered
that she WAS four months advanced is pregnancy, and the
State Assayer, who examined the contents of her stomach,
found sufficient strychnine there to muse death. Hersey
has been cone nitted to prison, and is not only supposed to
have poisoned both sisters, but to have killed his wife, who
died two years ago."
FANCY MEN AT QUEEN VICTORIA'S LEVEE. —We
see that some of the patrons and hackers of the prize ring
from this side of the Atlantic were recently prevented to
Queen Victoria by the United States Minister. Judging,
DO doubt, from the present state of feeling in England in
reference to pugilism anti its professors, Mr. Dallas acted
under the impression that he could offer no more acceptable
compliment to her Mxicaty. The Lord Chamberlain must
have entertained a similar opinion, or he would not have
sanctioned the presentation of persons with whose pursuits
and business to England the newspapers must have ren-
dered him familiar. We are, therefore, entitled to AMOIlla
that the honour thus conferred wee in consonance with the
pre tastes of the Court.—New York Herald.
THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN MOVEMENT. —A new
drinking fountain is about to be ereded, at the expense of
Sir James Duke, the alderman of Fa Without, at
ft. Dunstan's Church, Temple-bar. The dmign is by Mr.
Shaw, surveyor of Christ's Hospital, and its executiou will
be entrusted to Mr. J. L. Jaquet, of Vauxhall Bridge-road,
Pimlico.

A shocking murder took place at Washington
(Sussex) on Monday evening, Yr. Kennel Rowland, land-
lord of the Star Inn, at Ashington, and who was
well known and much respected in the surrounding
locality, having been shot dead by Peter Dudeney, a num
who rented a cottage and some Taal at Washington. Imme-
diately after committing the horrid act the murderer at-
tempted to hang himself in a plantation which adjoins his
house ; but be was discovered suit cut down before life
was extinct, and is now in the custody of the authorities
at Steyuing. From the information we have been able to
ether, the cause which incited the murderer to the
dreadful act is not very apparent. Dudeney is •
married man and has a family of two children ; but
it appears that his wife, who is described as being • very
powerful woman, has for the last three years been afflicted
with inanity. This seems to have preyed upon Dude-
ney's mind and also to have considerably straitened
his circum!rtaose, as his wife being at times

eery violent had to' be constantly watched, and he had
to employ assistance for this purpose in order that be
might be enabled to follow his usual employment. This,
with other expenses, which were necessitated in consequence
of his wife s malady, caused him to le a good deal behind
in paying the rent of his cottage, which belonged to his
father-in-law, Mr. Peter Wells. Dudeney also rented a
kece of meadow land adjoining the cottage, and on this he
ept two cows. For some time past the friends of
his wife have helped him a great deal, lint we hear there
has been much unpleasantness amongst the relatives ; par-
ticularly between Dudeney and his father-in-law. The
latter, so report says, wished to get poasemion of the cottage
and premises ; and, we hear, that on Monday meet
of the parties concerned had been to Storrington,
where an arrangement was come to that Dudeney should
give up the cottage, garden, and meadow at once, that Mr.
Wells should take his two cows in liquidation of all
claim against him, Mr. Wells, undertaking, as we
also hear, to provide another house for Dudeney, and
to pay the rent of it so long as his wife lived. Mr.
Rowland, the unfortunate deceased, had, it appears, been
at Storrington with the parties, and, with a bricklayer named
Tilley, had assisted in concluding the arrangement. After
all had been arranged, these two persons seem to have pro-
ceeded to Dudeney'a cottage to see about the removal of
the cows, and it is supposed that while they were
there Mr. Rowland must have used some expression
to exasperate Dudeney, who shot him dead upon the
spot. It is thought, in consequence of the wrangling
which has taken place and some threats which Dudeney
bas been heard to make, that be has kept the gun loaded
in his cottage for amen time past. It has been remarked of
late that his conduct has been rather strange.
The unfortunate deceased leaves a widow and one or two
young children. His body is awaiting the coroner's inquest,
which will, no doubt, throw some further light on this
strange affair. We believe that steps are being taken to
have Dudeney'a wife conveyed to an asylum.

THE WAKEFIELD ELzeriox.—The following ap-
pears in the Times :—"Sir,—On MOM occasions than one
when you have bad occasion to mention the Wakefield
election, and in connexion therewith inv name, you have
invariably spoken of me as a disciple of Mr. Bright, as well
as his brother-in-Law. That 1 am Mr. Bright's brother-in-
law is perfectly true ; but I have never professed to
hold Mr. Bright's opinions, having always carefully drawn
the line where Mr. Bright and I did not agree in politics.
I feel sure that in this unhappy Wakefield election matter,
which has occasioned both Mr. Bright and myself an much
pain, and while the final issue appears to he trembling in
the balance, you would not wish Mr. Bright to feel that I
wished to shelter myself under any flitiO discipleship with
him. It is, therefore, only justice to him and to myself to
contradict a statement which for some mouths has been
going the rounds of the paper% and unless contradicted now
may, at some future period, be detrimental to our political
cbarsctem.—l remain, sir yours obediently, A. H. LEATRAN,

THE CoNsinarrnns op IVisa.—The results of the
reduction in the wine duties thus far show that such in-
crease of consumption as has taken place has been mainly
in French qualities. These present an augmentation of
about 87 per cent., while in Portuguese descriptions there
has been a falling off of 11 per cent. Spanish wines, how-
ever, the consumption of which is nearly equal to that of the
aggregate of all other wines, still figure for an increase of
iii 7 per cent., while the German descriptions, hitherto
limited, show an increase of more than 100 per cent.—
namely, from 30,488 gallons during the four months to
61,5:te gallons. As our total consumption of all wines,
however, during the period has been 2081,566 this
Increase, extraordinary in itself, is comparatively unim-
portant, although it furnishes no indication of a rate of
pogrom which, if kept up for a year or two, must
greatly advance the prosperity of the Rhenish pro-
vinces. The axe of South African wine, now that this
quality is no longer available for contrivances to cheat the
Customs oat of drawback, has already declined 54 per cent.
Reckoning all descriptions of wine, colonial anti foreign,
our consumption for the first four months of the year ex-
hibits only an increase of 6 per cent., so that at present
the changes have been rather in the sorts consumed than in
the cpiantity. But the importation tins been very
In French, German, and Spanish descriptions,
increase has been respectively 133, 13th, mid 70 per cent. In
Portuguese it has been 30 per cent., and in South African
95 pet cent., notwithstanding the tliininiehed quantities of
the two latter taken into use. The stocks in bond through-
out the United Kingdom, however, do not show any very
r
great
aggregate excess compared with those held on the
of-Apid, 1859, the existing total being 10,355,282 pl.
lons, against 9,662,528, an increase of 71 per cent. Still
the individual items show great changes, the stock of French
wines having increased from 409,377 to 740,332 ; of German
from 57,125 to 133,554; of Spanish from 3,424,824 to
3,713,571; and of South African from 003,340 to 887,386 ;
while that of Portuguese has from 4,017,40 l
gallons to 3,708,085.
TRANSMISSION OF ANIMALS TO AIISTRALIA.-..
Since Mr. Edward Wilaon's return to England he has been
active in awakening the attention of statesmen and others
to the importance of transferring animas from One colony
to another. The Duke of Newcastle ham promised him to
communicate with the Governor-General of ludia and the
Governor of the Mauritius, and other officials stationed in
ourcolonies to ascertain what could 1.6110n/in furtherance of
his wishes. Her Majesty, likewise, with her usual considera-
thin, placed a number of red deer at his disposal for ship.nent
to the colonies. Others were equally liberal in respect to phea-
sants as Lord Carnarvoa and Mr. Buxton. At the same time
these birds were sent to the colony Mr. Wilson bought 21
pairs of thrushes and 40 pairs of skvbwks, which he sent
out with them, and intelligence has been received of the
safe arrival of the whole of these birds in the colony,
though one cock pheasant died shortly after landing—a lose
of no importance as it happens, and cue lark. These latter
do not vet seem to take very kindly to their new Louie, but
this may wear off in time. As to the thrushes, they appear
as healthy and have the same bold bearing as if they still
remained among our hedges and shrubberies. It is the in-
tention of the director of the Botanical and Zoological Gar-
den at Melbourne to take several piles of each kind of birds
and camp with them for a time iu the Dundee( n; Ranges anti/
theyseem sufficiently familiarised with theplate Lobe trusted
with their liberty, the great daupr to which birds are sub-
jected on being set at liberty being the native cats. Thus,
a number of canaries bred in the wriary,which were allowed
to fly about the Botanical Garden, disappeared one after the
other. Mr. Lyall has had three hares Sept out, which
promise to increase and multiply rind replenish the colony
with their progeny. Mr. Wilaon has also spent a great dad
of time and money in collecting the ore of salmon, and
forwarding it to Tasmania, in the rivers of which district it
is hoped the yonng fry will find a home not much unlike
that which they would have enjoyed if they had remained
in their native rivers. The rivers of Gippdaud are said to
be extremely well adapted fur the growth of salmon, but
this remains to be proved.
THE QtEnt's Comic; BIRMINGHAM.—An ad-
journed meeting of the council was held a few days since,
the Right Hon. the Earl of Lichfield is the chair. A sub-
committee was appointed, consisting of the Earl of Lichfield,

Law, Chanoelior of the diocese of Lichfield, Mr. Sands Cox,
Mr. J. B. Psyn, and Mr. J. (Sift, to "consider anti report upon

Womazes WORK.—The Eitytidwinnn,t's Jountai
for June contains a description of the Victoria printing.
office, opened some mouth's ago, at 9, Greet Coramatreet,
for teaching the compositors' trade to young women. From
this article we learn that thirteen voting women and girls
are now engaged in the office :-'t At the Victoria Peas
there are two skilled women-compatibles. One, an Irish
woman, who keying somehow learnt the trade, has hitherto
gaiued a precarious living by it, called in to supply the
place of some defaulting workmen or to help at a pinch, and
turned adrift when the need was over, duenissed by the
master or 'bullied' out by the men. As hick would have
it, this poor woman saw a pampripli in some paper an-
nouncing the opening of a printing establishment in Lon-
don with female compositors, and then and there she re-
solved to find her way to it. No wooer resolved than
duce, and a few weeks since she presented herself at the
manager's office, ragged and unwashed, with no clothes to her
back save those she stood in, but with courage and skill to
earn for herself a comfortable living if only the chance were
given her. That chance die Ins, and the sudden and
courageous flight from Limerick to London bids fair to turn
out latisfactory to employer and employed. The other
skilled compositor, • printer's daughter, deterred from type
for the last two years, has returned to it with an eagerness
and zest pleasant to see, increasing in ',peed and dexterity
each day as the rust of rest wean; off."
