isethe-Feat as situated, having had our atten.
tics called to a published letter from the Reverend
Bryan Kisg, rector of that parish, entitled, " BACA.
lege and iota Encouragement," feel called upon to ad.
dram your lordship on the subject. In the letter we find
the following statement, "The interests of my brother
clergy of this diocese, and even of the church at large, seem •
to require me to keep silence no longer," words which sp.
pest to impßoate us as agreeing with his sentiments and
conduct We therefore hasten to disavow Mr. King as ace '
exponent of the opinion of his brother clergy. While we
cannot but deeply lament and deprecate the riot which
for some time past have disgraced the parish of St..
(}roue-in-the-East, we must at the same time express our
conviction that these disturbances could not have taken
place had not the parishioners been previously alienated by
the introduction of vestments and ritual practices unknown
in the great majority of pariah churches in England. We
do not dispute the motives by which Mr. King has been
actuated, abut in all brotherly love we protest against
being bold to sympathise with him in the send.

to acknowledge the address to his lordship which you have
forwarded to me ; and to express his lordship'a at
at finding that you desire to prevent yourselves, and as
much RS reusible the parishes over which you are called to
preside, from being supposed to have any sympathy, on the
one side or the other, with those who have during the put
mouths, in the pariah of St. George-m.the-East, disturbed
the peace of the church, and hindered the work of Christ in
the east of London. —I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
your obedient servant, Panama GILL, Chaplain.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—An ordinary meeting
of this society, for the election of fellows and ballot for
plants, was held yesterday at the Museum of Science and
Art. South Kensington, by pennission of the Lord President
of the Privy Council ; J. J. Shandy, Eaq., V.P., in the
chair. The chairman having intimated that his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge had been pleased to
signify his wish to become a life member of the gaiety,
the usual method of ballot was dispensed with in this in-
stance, and his Royal Highness was elected by acclamation..
The following ladies and gentlemen were afterwards balloted
for sod elected fellows i—Mrs. E. Eddison, Sir Charles
Knightley, Bart, Rev. T. W. Franklyn, Charles Peget,
M.P., Lady Ashburton, Mrs. J. W. Burmester, D.
Mrwieribunles, Feq., M.P., Mrs. Newman Smith, Mrs. M.
W. Amp. Thomas Newell Arber; Esq., Robert Puleford,
Samuel&Mars, Esq., Lady Filmer, Mrs. Chester-
fielda Gayford, Mrs. Bay Denton, the Earl Grosvenor,
M.P., the Earl Spencer, thee ountess encer, JamasCawley. Cawley.
Seq., William David Howard, Esq., F. B. Bernard Natusch
Faq., Ralph Neville Grenville,Robert Breadwater,
Eel., and H. 0. Poole, Faq. The ballot for plants was then
proceeded with. It appeared that 337 fellows had given
notice of their desire to share in the distribution. Of most
of the plants there were a sufficient number to supply all
the applicants ; but for several a ballot was necessary in
order to determine who should have them.
THE INDIAN DUTIES ON hamar& —A special
meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce was held
yesterday morning, to adopt resolutions in reference to the
recent. increase of the duties on yarn and manufactured
goods imported into India. In the absence of the president,
Mr. E. Potter, through ill-health, Mr. H. Ashworth was
voted to the chair. Mr. IC Gladden moved a resolution
to the effect that renewed exertion should be made to im-
pose ea the government at home, and in India, the in-
that must ensue from the perpetuation of a system of
taxation so unsound as that now enforced, and that a peti-
tion with this object be adopted and presented to the
House of Commons, copies being forwarded to
Lied Palmerston, Sir C. Wood, and Lord Canning.
Mr. J. Hough seconded the resolution. He read to the
meeting his own calculations of the alteration that would be
produced in the duties on different closes of articles ; and
said the petition should point out strongly the necessity of
the valuations being taken on the average of a number of
years. (Hear, hear.) Mn render and Mr. W. R.
W.:Wild supported the motion, which was agreed to. Some
discussion took place as to the wording of the petition pea-
lpored, and it was referred back to the directors for a few
aliereakos.

" words" could have written down what happened 1
at Marsala last Friday week with the force and
freshness, the life-like directness and the energetic 1
simplicity of • sailor's pen. SHIRARD OSBORN, I
M'Curriarce, and others, whose names are
garnered up in thousands of English hearts, have
taught us how modestly, and yet how powerfully,
sailors can tell a plain unvarnished tale that stirs
the blood of every reader like a trumpet. Some-
how or other, when a sailor writes he attains
unconsciously and without effort the highest reach
of the writer's art. In the fewest possible words,
without a single sentence out of its place, with-
cut • word of digression, he paints you a picture
like life itself, and makes you feel as if you had
been standing in the foreground all the time. His
touch has a certain open-air freedom, a force of
will, an instinct of great things done in order
and as a matter of course, which no landsman, be
his hand ever so cunning, can imitate. Our
readers cannot have failed to mark how unpre-
tending, and yet how real and complete,
is the narrative which has suggested these remarks.
In • line or two the presence of two British
men-of-war—a ateamahip and a despatch-boat
—at Marsala, is explained and justified. Our
French contemporaries—saving always some rabid
Legitimist and Papistical sheets--are generoualybe-
ginning to give up what the Revue de. Deuz Mendes
well calls " that absurd commonplace," the
suspicion of English designs upon the independence
of Sicily. We are interested as a liberal and com-
mercial people in the prosperity and good govern-
ment of that island, but all our policy now-allays
is notoriously free from the slightest taint of acquisi-
tiveness. When her blinare's ships Argus and
Intrepid were sent to Marsala the other day, it was
to protect the large factories and immense property
of English merchants, deprived like the Sicilians
of defensive arms, from the tender mercies of
the Neapolitan troops. As we read this letter
of an eye-witness, we see our vessels at daybreak,
attended by two Neapolitan steamers, " sent to
" watch our proceedings no doubt." One of our
ships takes a peep into Trapani before sunrise, and
at 10 a.m. the other brings up off Marsala, and
shortly after both are at the anchorage. The two
Neapolitans stand on, apparently to take a look
along the coast, or to tell a frigate on the
station of the arrival of the Englishmen.
Hardly, however, are the two steamers out
of sight when two other steamers are seen
coming in from ersaward at full speed. As
they approach they hoist Sardinian colours,
and come so close round the stern of one of our
ships " that it was impossible to mistake who or
" what they were." The foremost of these strange
steamers was the smaller of the two ; and " but
" few men to be seen on her deck." But on the
bridge, beside the captain or pilot, was an officer in
• red blouse (like the rest), and with " a feather in
" his cap." All are armed, and a field-piece
points out from an opening in the bulwarks just
abaft the starboard paddle-box. The other and
larger vessel was "literally crammed with men,"
some in red, some in dark green, most " in plain
" citizens' attire." This is how the two strange
steamers looked on that memorable morning. Both
steamers make straight for the mole ; the smaller
one gets in " all right ;" the other grounds about
a hundred yards short of the mole head. The land-
ing from the inner one begins at once, and it is
surprising where all the men who now come steadily
over her side could have been stowed. So
they land and walk up in small parties
to the town, as leisurely as a party of English
yachtsmen from Malta. There was the usual
fumy health-officer hurrying to ask them "if
"they had pratique," but that was the only diffi-
culty. Except indeed "that confounded semaphore
" swinging its arms about as if in a rage ;" and
straight to this semaphore the health-officer is
ordered to march in front of the landing party.
In ten minutes that semaphore had ceased
from troubling. Then there was another
fussy " commissioner from the government"
taking down a list of the names of compro-
miaed persons. This gentleman's papers are
quietly " distributed in much smaller pieces than
"he had intended." And then the prison gates
are opened, and though there was no time to
make a systematic gaol delivery, there is no
reason to fear that any but political offenders
were released. The government at Naples has no
room to spare for ordinary crime. Meantime the
smaller steamer has been cleared of men, stores,
guns, and ammunition, and the latter laid along
the mole for removal, just as if it belonged
to his MAJEnv's regular troops. Presently, after a
little delay, boats "in any numbers, and of all
" sizes," run alongside the steamer aground, and
the men come down the ladder in perfect order.
What a :moment for our gallant fellows, staring
with all their eyes and glasses ! There are the
two Neapolitans steaming back "as hard as they
"could come, and cleared for action, too." And
not only the steamers, but the frigate is running
down to her anchorage with every sail set before
• beautiful breeze. Nearer and nearer they come ;
well within range, and still there are hundreds
to land. It is a splendid sight to see
them stepping into the boats as coolly as
the crew of a captain's gig at Spithead.
Now the government steamer stops : every eye
aboard the British ships is on her bow gun. " Why
" doesn't she fire t" But no 1 she's backing, and
filling, and signalling to the frigate, " which is by
" this time getting disagreeably close." And
GARIBALDI'S men,—why, they are all landed,
formed into fours, and marching off, " as if from
" parade." At last comes a shot from the
steamer—short ; another—" the men on the
" mole dip, and it passes over them," and on they
march again. Here's the frigate ! she has
shortened all sail, and as she comee in a line with
the mole head, crash goes her broadside of grape
and canister, down go the volunteers, over them
goes the storm, and up they are again, " march-
" ing as orderly as before." Frigate and steamers
now sheer off a little, and are content to throw a
stray shot or two at the working parties who are
clearing the mole of the landed 'tore.,
with an ample supply of horses and carts.
A ricochet shot half-smothers them in dust every
now and then, and that is nearly all the harm done.
One man was wounded out of the twelve hundred
who had thus been landed, with arms, ammu-
nition, and four field-pieces, "in just one hour
" and three-quarters, in the very teeth of a frigate
" and two steamers, without hurry or disorder,
" and without returning a shot." It is evident
that the British men-of-war have been gratuitously
charged with covering that landing party. Our ships'
lay, it is true, off the English factory, which they
were commissioned to protect ; and the steamer

of the insingents, which ran aground be-
tween our ships and the shore, was not
fired upon by the Neapolitans next morning,
for fear perhaps of doing useless damage to the
factory. The worst that can be said of our biter-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.

We find the following paragraphs of intelligence
in the Opinion Nationale :
"A telegram of our own states that on May 19
the French steam frigate Descartes and two English
vessels arrived at Naples. At that date the
Neapolitan government was collecting all the specie
it could lay hands upon, and exchanging it against
paper upon London. The French packet which
left Naples on the 18th had already taken away
upwards of a million of franca in coin."
"It was said yesterday evening in the highest
official circles in Paris that Palermo itself had fallen
into the hands of the insurgents ; it had not been
taken by force, but the royal troops had pre-
cipitately left it."

"We learn from a most certain source that
Colonel Nino Birk) was not killed in Sicily."
" There is a talk of sending a French naval force
to the Adriatic. Although we have not been able
to trace the source of this rumour the measure to
which it refers is so strongly indicated by the
situation that we do not hesitate to reproduce it."
"The Petrie and Pays speak of a marked advan-
tage gained by the Austrian Colonel Pimodan
against a corps of volunteers who had advanced
into the Roman States. It was mentioned the other
day that this detachment of volunteers had been
disarmed by the Sardinian government. It can
only be over these disarmed men that the
memorable victory in question was obtained."
" Count de Trani, whom the King of Naples now
offers as a viceroy to the Sicilians, is his half-
brother, being the son of Ferdinand by his second
marriage with an Austrian archduchess. This
lady, now queen dowager, tried long ago to put her
son over the head of the rightful heir to the crown,
and would now doubtless be very glad to make
him master of Sicily—that is to say, of one-fourth
of the kingdom. But the scheme will not succeed ;
it is too late.'"

" The ever trnthtelling Giorna(e di Roma an-
nounces that General Garibaldi is taken prisoner !"

THE PAPAL STATES.
(orriciAL.)

ROME, MAT 22.
A band of 500 volunteers have re-entered Tus-
cany.

A battalion of Pontifical Chasseurs fired upon
each other in error. A captain, lieutenant, and
five soldiers were killed thereby.
Artillery has left Rome to-day for the frontiers.

ROME, MAY 23.

The official Giornale di Roma, speaking of
.the combat of the 19th instant, at Montofissoone,
says that, owing to the darkness of the night, the
Pontifical troops wounded seven of their comrades,
mistaking them for filibusters.
The Customs guard at Orono (1) were over-
powered by the filibusters, who, after plundering
the country, re-entered Tuscany.
The peasantry ask to be armed.
Papal troops will immediately leave Rome for the
frontier.
The Giornale di Roma also contains the follow-
ing :—" The news from Sicily is favourable to the
Neapolitan government."

A letter from Ancona, of the 16th, in the Wan-
derer of Vienna, raps :

Instead of the Nodulose troops expected here, • Parme-
san battery and thirty inagnificent horses have arrived from
Venice ; they were brought by • Papal corvette. People
do not understand how it is that General de Lamoriciere
does not insist on his troops being properly armed.
The muskets distributed to the Austrian volun-
teers are so very bad that they would be laughed at
in Chita; it is even doubtful that any one of them could be
made to go off. Yet the deptst of arms in the Vatican con-
tains 30,000 excellent muskets, and, besides, Baron Corson
Oaltaklo gave in February last 30,000(r. for the purchase
of muskets. What has become of this money! The Par-
mesan guns which have arrived are old, and the carriages
are in a bad state. A strong conviction would seem to pre-
vail at Rome that no fighting will be necessary, for no field
hospitals have been prepared, no physicians engaged, and
no arrangements made for taking care of the wounded. It
is probable that in all the Roman States there does not
exist a single vehicle fit to convey wounded soldiers.
