GARIBALDI'S ILLNESS.

The Florence correspondent of the Liberte, writ-
ing on the 25th, says :—" News from Varignano is
scarce. It appears that Garibaldi's state is very
serious, and that his doctors have to struggle
against a general depression of the system, a moral
prostration which has engendered a physical pros-
tration, always difficult to contend with in persons
of sixty. Rheumatic complications, and even
phthisis, are also spoken of, and I am inclined to
think there is some truth in these assertions.
When I saw Garibaldi about a month ago, I was
much struck by his flushed and projecting cheek
bones and the brightness of his eyes. The general
is aware of the gravity of his state, for he has sent
for his sons, who left on Saturday night with Pro-
fessors Ghinozzi and Zanette. A despatch, dated
this morning, represents Garibaldi's state as still
very serious. The improvement announced in a
despatch dated yesterday, from Major Canzio, has
not been maintained."

THE COPYRIGHT QUESTION IN AMZRICA.—The
English papers are taking up the question of international
copyright, and quoting the article on that subject in a re-
cent number of The Atlantic Monthly, with warm appro-
bation. Public opinion on both sides of the ocean is
getting to be so strong in favour of this simple act of
justice, that we are not without hope that the same princi-
ples of honesty which regulate international commerce in
beef and dry goods may soon prevail in the market for
literary wares.-IYese York Tribune, Nov. 15.
Tux BazAD QUESTION.—The instructions simul-
taneously issued by the chief constables of Hampshire,
ISurrey, and Berke respecting the offence of selling bread
otherwise than by weight are still vigoroutiy acted upon
by the police, and the result has been the conviction of •
large number of bakers and sellers of bread within the
Rhos e counties, notwithstanding the " caution " eocumicu-
ously posted in numerous places previous to the adoption
of actual measures. A ease of considerable importance
was disposed of at the Chertsey petty bastions on Wednes-
day, when 13 bakers of that division were charged by
j Superintendent Murton with the offence referred to under
the 6th and 7th William IV., cap. 37, sec. 4. The usual
course of purchase bye police-constable in plain clothes was
resorted to, and it was found that in addition tithe infringe-
ment of the statute by the omission to weigh the bread there
wasin each case a deficiency of weight, amounting in one
or two instances to 31oza. on the half-quarters loaf. Mr.
E. T. Smith, barrister, appeared for one of the defendants,
named Samuel White, of Vteybridge, arid strongly eon.
tended that no necessity existed for the weighing of bread
in the scale at the time of purchase, which would fre-
quently occasion much inconvenience to the seller, and
that the fact of its having been weighed at some time or
other previous to being sold was sufficient, whether this
was done in presence of the purchaser or not. The loaf in
question had been weighed by the defendant or his man
I immediately after being taken from the oven,
which, it was argued, was • compliance with the
act, and rendered • second weighing unnecusary ;
end the defendant's assistant was called, but he was unable
to prove that the loaf in question had been actually
weighed, although it was the practice of his employer to
weigh the bread in the bakehouse on being taken from the
oven. The chairman, Mr. Bulpett, said the magistrates
entertained no doubt as to the question of law or fact, and
they accordingly convicted the defendant in the penalty of
lea. and 17a. costs. A aimihar fine was imposed in 11 of the
remaining cases. On Tuesday the magistrates sitting at
Wokingham, Berke, were occupied a considerable time in
disposing of • large number of similar oases, in one of
which the defendant, a Mr. Lovegrove, defended himself
1" on public grounds." The magistrates reminded him that
It was useless for him to call the act of parliament
" iniquitous" and " abominable," since they at to enforce
the law and not to bear it abusti. Fines were inflicted in
the several cases, which with costs amounted to about 225.

OXFORD, TEE POTBOY. —After 27 years of con-
finement in a criminal lunatic asylum, during which his
conduct has been exemplary, and no traces have appeared
of mental aberration, Oxford, the potboy, who shot at her
Majesty in St. James's-park, brut been liberated. During
this time many appeals have been made in his behalf by
influential persons who have had the opportunity of
watching his demeanour and gauging his character. His
own story has always been, and was consistently from the
first, that the pistol which he fired was not loaded. It
will be remembered that no bullet was ever found.
He attributes the criminal act which he has ex-
lfated by long immurement, and which, under a
ess 'merciful government, must have cost him his life,
to inordinate vanity, fostered by • variety of trivial cir-
cumstances in his domestic life and training on which we
need not dwell, and which led to a senseless desire to
attain notoriety by some means, and this foolish and
criminal impulse led to his lamentable crime. He has
occupied his time in a certain amount of self-education, of
which the means have been granted to him at Broadmoor
and in the asylum in which be was formerly confined, and
has become a tolerable linguist. He has also taught him-
self. and practised " paining," which he does sufficiently
well to earn a living. He has been mercifully released,
but has been very properly prohibited from remaining in
or visiting England. Whether directly insane at the time
of his offence, or led by a miserable love of notoriety, it is
very right that the person of the sovereign should be pro-
tooted from the vanity of a man who, at however distant •
period, could commit the cowardly outrage of which he
was the perpetrator.—Beitisk Medical Journal.

CROYDON AUTUMN Sr
THDRIIDA.Y.

The sport brought to Issue on the concluding day presented a
great falling off u compaxed with the two previous days, the
Sells being of limited dimensierm and the racing of only •
second-rate description. There was likewise a great diminution
in the oampany, but the weather was favourable to the sport,
which commenced at half-put twelve, with the Selling Handicap
Hurdle Race, which was notable only tor the blow which backers
received in the defeat of • warm favourite by Oldminater, wbo
bad performed so badly the two previous days. Again were the
backers disappointed In the next rate, fi r Foxholes, the favourite
in the Handicap Hurdle Race, sustained an cam defeat by Lady
Lincoln, who ran third Ina coated the previous day. The race
of the day was the Croydon Cup, for which there
were eve runners. Renard was • great favourite, as
Mr. Tboiraa, in the dunce of Mr. irdwards, rode for
Lord Pooled. The result was in favour of Flyfisher, but the
rider of the favourite lodged an objection against the Welsh
horse for having eroded him when not two length' clear in ad-
vance. The Stewards heard a great deal of evidence in the
weighing-room, bat did not give a diction, appointing Monday
for the further bearing of the case. The objection will be enter-
tained at TettersalFs, at 4 o'clock. In the last race Pope, the
rider of Laura (Mr. Powell's), was nearly mobbed, many people
thinking that be had " pulled" the horse. He had to beguiled
into the weighing-room, and left the course surrounded by his
friends :

THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE
THAW:S.—The /cullers' match between Harty Kelley and
Joseph Sadler for the championship of the Thames and
6001., which the referee ordered to be rowed again yester-
day, came off shortly after three o'clock, about the same
number of steamboats accompanying the race, Citizen L
again carrying the officials, who were the same as in the
first rata The betting was 7t04 on Kelley. At :L5 the
men came to the post to start, and, doffing their guernseys,
looked the picture of health. A wearisome delay took
place now. Kelley beckoned to Sadler to keep wider, as
he had not sufficient sculling room, but all to no purpose
for Sadler would not start on fair terms, and after being
stripped for thirty-five minutes Kelley rowed to the
umpire's boat and complained (Sadler meanwhile putting
on his guernsey, and going back to the aqueduct), and the
referee ordered him to row over the course, which Kelley
did, the referee awarding him the race. Sadler also
rowed the course, and great dissatisfaction was expressed
at the termination, as the race promised to be the
greatest struggle ever seen for the championship of the
Thames.
