two children. The affidavit of the mother stated that she
resided in Dublin, and was the widow of • tailor ; that in
October,lB4l7, she, at the instance and requeetof several
tlemen—the then governors of the Josephian Female o=
House, situate at Wellington.atreet, Dublin, and some of
whom used to visit her husband previous to his dmith—put
her daughter, then aged eight years and four mouths, into
the school, to be maintained arid educated ; that up to Sep-
, tember, 1858, she was always allowed access to herdaughter,
hut that since that time she bad made several applications to
see her, and on each ousasion was informed by the matron
(Rim Byrne) that the child was not there, and could not he
Seep, as she was gape to the country with • monk. On the
29th July, 1858, the Rev. Danis Heffernan, Philiebormigh
Chapel, went to deponent's house, and asked her to meet
the schools at Denmark-street, to see if she would like to
have her son placed there. In order to get the Rev. Mr.
Heffernan out of the house she consented to visit the school
with him, but on going away she left her son Patrick in'
the house in the care of one Anne Taaße, who resided
with her upon intimate terms, until she returned from
said school. When she got to the school Heffernan left
her, saying that be would return in a few minutes. Ms
waited in the school room nearly half an hour, and finding
that Heffernan did not return, she left the school to return
home. On the way back she met the Rev. Mr. Heffernan,
but did not speak to him. When she reached home bar
son Patrick was absent. On making inquiry from Anne
Taaffe, in the presence of one Rose Short and Catherise
Connolly, where the child was, Anne Taal% replied " that
the right owner of the child had it." On the evening of the
29th July, 1858, deponent repaired to Phibaborough Chapel,
where the Rev. Mr. Heffernan resided, but wee told by the
porter at the chapel-house that he was not at home. Mier
making several endeavors to thad out where the child was
placed, she ascertained in November last that Memy Corr,
of Hinunons-court. Donnybrook, had taken upon himself
the can and guardianship of the two children, alleging that
he did so under a will stated to be made by deponent's
husband, Mrs. Murphy IMMO that she has never seen such

THE GLASGOW GAJJBALDI PUND.

A meeting of the subscribers to the Garibaldi
Pled, and ether (rinds of the cause of Italian freedom,
wan held at Glasgow on Tuesday, to consider the propriety
at immediately forwarding the subscriptions to General
Garibaldi ; Mr. Hulas TrexEsi in the chair.
Mr. ROBERT M'Tsait grated that the meeting had been
willed on account of the peculiar urgency of affairs in Sicily.
As insurrection had taken place there, but it had as yetbeen
usieuccessful in couseinenee of the want of a leader. How-
IMO, a telegram hail reached Glasgow the previous driy, an-
thawing that :aritahli and his staff had gone to Sicily, and
is all likelihood they would heard him next as gatheringthe
(Sicilians and others around him there. They would then
have a new phase of that Insurrection, and one more likely
to be successful. Mr. M'Adain, Mr. Landon, and himself
had called on Mr. Buchanan, M.P., yesterday, sad had hail
a conversation with him on the subject, and be seemed to
think with the other gentlemen that immediate steps
should be taken to assist Ganhabli at the present moment,
god that any funds over which they had control should be
thimornitted to him immediately. It was for the
vaestas to come to a reeplution, saying whether
it was a fair mode of advancing the money raised by send-
ing it to Garibaldi Just now. It was • patriotic cause he
was allying himself with at present, and there messed to
he no other man in the south of Italy capable of taking the
lend with anything like a chance of sower, and there was
se man nien likely to draw around him the patriotic por-
Mew of the people. The Insurrection had up to this time
hese thesesseeful, because the people had not had the
neeelle of every* it oat.
ii,. Jothr WADAN stated that Garibaldi had written to
hV soliciting the ninny, and he hail replied that he would
tell the subscribers together that their sanction might be
°blamed. There was so doubt that Ganbeldi mend thi,
national party understood owe another, and that there would
he harmonious actioa against the tyrants of the mouth of
Italy. He knew that Garibaldi and the leaders of the na-
tional party were in constant communieation,and he thought
that Garibaldi had gone from Genoa to Sicily, if not with
the express sanction of the King of Sardinia, at all events
with his coenivance.

Itemlunette el •re of tandiminithal confidence in the
tiounere, p4iotiem, sail discretion of General Garibaldi,
and authorinag seeps to be taken for transmitting the euli-
scriptMns to kiln without delay, were then %mammon:4y
agreed to.
An addrees was Ago adopted to the gallant general.

LorDow CRT Marawr. —This morning the annual
meeting of the members and friends of this society .4.
held at Exeter Hall, Mr. J. P. Plumptre in the chair.
In opening the proceedings the chairman dwelt at some
length upon the wait amount of immorality and irreligion
• which prevailed in the densely populated portions of the
metrop4is, and which he believed nn igency at present in
existence could overtake. The report which wee read
consisted chiefly of extracts from the reports and letters of
missionaries who are engaged under the auspices of the
society, their successes being of a v.oried character. They
have to contend against inteniperince and infidelity in
every form, but they are unanimous m declaring drunken.
nese to be the principal hindrance to their work. The
Bishop of Ripen, the Rev. Canon Miller, and other gentle-
men, supported the resolution, affirming the peat
usefulness tile society and recommending it to more
extended support.
Tut CRicurr MO/111M —The annual general
meeting of the shareholders of the Crrilit Mohilier Company
wee held yesterday (Monday) at 4 o'clock, 'Dien were but
few persono present--ecareety forty shareholders, end, per-
haps, one-tenth of the shares nereasary to constitute a
general meeting. On the motion of M. Pereira bunnies'
woe proreedel with. It appears from the statement
made to the meeting that the balance of 9,000,0001.
to the credit of the company at the close of the year
1811$ is by the fall in the value of public securities
reduced to 1,500,000 fr., out of which a dividend is to
be declared, leaving only 34,01:10fr. to the credit of the corn-
pony. IL Pereire comforted the shareholders by asionring
them that a magnificent era of peace and industry is about to
open to France thr.egh the sagacious policy of the Emperor.
After the report was read a shareholder rose to ask a few
questions ae to the elate of the pwlefew;lle, the funds, end,
generally speaking, the actual position of the company, and
the molars of the ea:with:l hem by it. The question was
not very unreanottable, but it seemed to hurt the ow-
ceptihibt of some persona present, and the imprudent
eh , 1 boar, was censured by a murmur of disap-
probation. One gentleman declared that, if the meeting
shared the feeling of mistrust implied in the question, the
board of directors would instantly resign. The over.
curious ohereholder wee thus silenced, to the considerable

amusement of most of those prt.sent. Two other share-
Isoklers followed, but they were met by the onler of the
day, which was carried. The ibrit.tors whose term of
semi*e hail expire/ were then re•eleeted unanimously, just
as if the question were simply the annotation of Savoy ..r
of some other neighbouring province to France.—Paris
