received the warmest sipper from the drainer. Their
object was to keep down expenditure r amok
as possible. The thairman promised to wild them in
getting the grounda of Harlington-holme for drill. (Hear,
hear.) And they could wily get to Kilburn once • week
for ball practice. Time yea motley to the tradesmen of St.
George's, and if they gave up their time they had a fair
claim on the government for assistance. (Hear.) They did
not mean to become limunen, to form is egress or tree
deep, but to become practical ahota, so se to pick off the
Invaders from behind hedges or wherever they add get
spot to fire from. (Hear, hear.) They had to deal with •

true or untrue ; and if he did mot take we of hie own
subjects, but shot them down, was he likely to

THE WAR IN ITALY.

LETZER FROM OARIBALDI'S CAMP.

GREAT BATTLE.

COMO, MAY 30.

DAut Fruenn,—You writs me that great things
are expected from the Caceiatori degli Alpi, and I
hope you find already you are not deceived in your
expectations. Our battles at Varese, S. Fermo, and
Como, must be considered as some of the bast fads
d'armie of the campaign of 1869.
We were attacked at Varese on the 26th, when We
not only repulsed the Austrians, bat pursued them.
On the 27th Garibaldi ordered us to march on Como,
and we met the enemy strongly fortified at
8. Fermo. The impetuosity of our Cacciatori forced
in half an hour their entrenchments, and the Am.

Ulan' abandoned all their positions in great hate
and dieorder. The Cacciatori pursued them very
hotly, and in leas than five hours all the Costa d
S. Fermo was entirely ours. It is naturally one o
the strongest positions that can be imagined. We
were not quite 3,000; and the enemy 10,000, with
200 horsemen and eight pie** of artillery.
General Garibaldi was invariably in the places of
greatest danger, always within musket .shot, with our
brave soldiers fighting and crying " Viva Garibaldi!"
He thought constantly of their safety, and never of
hie own.

Colonel Medici, and all the other colonels, were
examples to the brave. All the etat major highly
distinguished themselves. Considering the difficul-
ties, number., and circumstances, the taking of Como
must be, in the history of our war of independence,
one of the most brilliant and boldest actions.

An elderly English gentleman was with us, and
fought Übe a lion. He is in the companies of
Beresglieri formed at Ivrea, and composed for the
greatest part of Genoese.
On the other hand, a wealthy English family living
at Como, in the house of Marchese Brivio of Milan,
wu constantly employed in giving all the informa-
tion they could to General D'Urban. On the 27th, it
has been proved, two gentlemen of that family sup-
plied the Austrian general with notices that pre-
vented our splendid victory from producing all the ad-
vantages we should have derived from it bat for rush
an espionage. The indignation of the people was such
that the two gentlemen were arrested, and their
being shot was universally demanded. Count
Visconti, the Piedmontese commissioner, saved their

livee, and they were expelled. If they live it is dae
not to forgiveness for their crime but to the desire of
the government to be generous and friendly to the
British.

This Austrian Marfichal D'Urban is a ferocious
soldier of the school of the famous Haynatt. He shot,
with his own hand and a revolver, a poor peasant,
Felice Romano, of Rebbio, near Como, 24 years old,
without any provocation, and only bemuse he was
told the unhappy man was a friend to the Italian
cane. Antonio Oalfetti, another peasant, 44 years
old, was wounded by a coup de sabre, and by the
same D'Urban, while he was at the door of his house
with a child eight months old in his arms. There
would be no end if I were to tell all the enormities
committed by this monster D'Urban.

A TIGER STORY.—A letter from Penang, dated
February 10, 1859, gives the following singular escape
from, but ultimate death by, the attack of a tiger
on a catholic missionary on that island, which will be
read with painful interest My maps from the tiger,"
mays the writer, " was truly miraculous, but that of
Padre Carlon was Mill more so, as the following details
of the attack upon tbet worthy priest will clearly prove.
The padre errs on hie way to church, and was immersed
in the study of his sermon, when a tiger, to his utter w-
rite, suddenly rushed out of the jungle, or tall grass; but,
as the beast had not memured its distance to a nicety, the
padre, walking very qmickly, was more frightr than
hurt. The tiger, however, brushed so Blow to the padre
that the latter's trousers were torn, the snap of the beast
being within a hair's breadth of lie leg. The beam, not
content with a single spring, made another charge upon
the poor padre, and, r; he had nothing to defend himself
but his largo paper umbrella, be suddenly opened it out
In the brute's face, which had the effect of cowing
it for a time. The tiger, however evidently gamer or more
peninacions in hie attacks than' is wont with his tribe,
charged the padre at least a &nen tithe, which occupied
nearly 20 minute,. In the meantime the padre gradually
edged towards a trio in an open epee of ground : and, as
there was a large white ants' net between him, and the
tiger, round which the latter had to make a slight tour, this
enabled the padre to climb the tree and get out of his way.
The tiger, on getting round the neat, was at first puzzled at
not seeing the padre, bat in a few militate he laid his nom
to the ground, and soon scented the whereabouts of his in-
tended via im. ' The tiger,' raid the padre ' quietly eel
down under tee free, and gave a wistful look towards nr,
but it fottunately was of no avail.' The native,, at length,
hearing the cries of the worthy padre, hastened to the spot,
and rendered the easittsnos required. The tiger fled the
instant it heard their shouts. The poor padre bunt Into
tears, and song the Te Deems in token of gratitude for b's
delivery. Padre Citation, however, did not rally long; the
flight had too senor en effect on his system, and in about
tea days he sank to the no more."
