LETTER FROM LORD MALMESBURY.

(From Filarlg.)
Lord Malmesbury's compliments to Mr. Patch,
sad hopes he will let him use „his valuable columns to cor-
rect his speech which he did not make. at least the report is
wrong, as he did not say that Garibaldi had bombarded
Genoa, but that Genoa was invaded, or at least bombarded,
by the same man, that is to say, that Lord Malinesbury
means that he was in the service of the King of Sardinia.
Garibaldi was (not that the King and Garibaldi are the
mine man), and be regrets that the wrong report should
have got into circulation about Garibaldi, anti what he
mid in the Home of Lords was .putc different to the news-
riton Club, Tuesday.

MADAME JERRIE WHITE MARlo.—Thin young
lady, who is well known in England for her enthusiastic
attachment to the Italian cause, nailed with her husband,
Alberto Mario, for Sicily in the vessel that took Colonel
Medici's contingent. This is one of the ships that is
alleged to have been taken by the Neapolitans. Madame
Mario went to Italy above a year ago, but her thorough
republican sentiments, and the ardour with which she
always proclaimed them, made her not one of the most
desirable residents in Central Italy, where the struggles
between the Sardinian and the old reactionary parties were
pending, and after undergoing a short imprisonment, from
which she was released by the special desire of Garibaldi,
she withdrew to Switzerland. This was last July, and
since then she has resided in Lugano, and employed herself
by writing for the press. Her husband is a member of a
very old and influential Venetian family. He was an
officer under Mania, iu the siege of 1849-49, and was exiled
from Piedmont for the part he took in arranging Pima:tine's
expedition to Calabria in 1857.—Aresve/de Chronicle.
DEATH OF • GIANT. —The tallest man in France
has just expired, near Rouen, at the age of 71, being M.
Charles Gruel d'lndreville, of Neale, Normandetue, who
founded, and for many years carried on, some very exten-
sive glassworks at that place. His stature was nearly 7 feet
6 inches, English, and his body was stout in proportion.
In early life he entered the imperial army, as a private sol-
dier, but soon pined the rank of sub-lieutenant.
He was present in the battles of lVagram and Moscow.
At one time Ise was • prisoner of war, and having
fallen ill, was sent-to the lloapital of Kmnigsberg. This
hospital was nicked by the Hessians, and M. Gruel was
thrown out into the street, and he passed • whole night in
the snow with scarcely any covering. He however recovered
and returned to France. His glasserorks were of such im-
portance that King Louis Philippe several times visited
them ; in one of the visits a violent storm came on, which
compelled his Majesty to remain and accept a collation. M.
Gruel d'lndreville was a member of the Legion of Honours
and had filled several local offices.
THE Pone Law REPORT.—The annual report
the Poor Law Board for 185.9-60 shows • general
in the pauperism of the country. Iu the year ending 25th
March, 1859, the sum expended for the relief of the poor
VW 5,388,6991., being a decrease of 319,8531., or 5.4 per
cent on the preceding year. The r.de per head on the
estimated population for these two years was-1858,
6s. ; 1889, hs. Bg—decrease, Every union county
in England. except Monmouth and Durham, shared in the
decrease. The number of paupers in receipt of relief on
the Ist July, 1858, was 825,596: on the corresponding
date in 1869 it had fallen to 817,082. The decrease in the
average number of paupers of all climes at one time in
1859, as compared with 1849, is 2frri per cent. ; as regards
able-bodied paupers the decrease in the same period is
40/ per cent.
EXTRAORDINAZT LARGE SALHOIL—A few days
since some salmon of most extraordinary eke were caught
off Perth, and amongst them was a noble fish weighing
upwards of 531b5., an well as three others nearly equal in
calibre, the four weighing about 1901 h.. These were for-
warded to London, and consigned to Mr. Charles, of Ara.
balk-row, Pimlico, purveyor to her Majesty, where they
were yesterday morning exhibited. and throughout the day,
from their extraordinary size and interesting appearance, •
large number of persona were attracted. It is but seldom
that fiah of this size and weight are to be found in the Lon-
dou market, particularly in so fine a condition.
