COLONEL MEDICVS EXPEDITION IN AID
OF GAIIIBALDI.
The following is • copy of a private letter re-
ceived yesterday in Loadon
' kin Washington, lying aft Cagliari,
nuanstsy„ Jazil4.
"My dear Friers —/ little thou ton Friday
night, as I went to igliano to witness the, de-
maim.° •
•of the 1,900 volunteers' is the clipper
Charles and Jane, that an the following night 'wa
ourselves should be en rotas tee Sioilg.. Yet go it
sass. Our intentioa had been to wait for the third

four days with a sort of rheumatic fever ; but on
the Bth' came despatches from Garfteoldi, nut* dif-
ferent from any prheiewl onai,:asking far
Whereas hitherto holm bleated on all efforts being
directed thquite another west 001 Sicily. Bo at
3 pan., on the 9th, A--TT went toit Medici, sad was
at onoe accepted. I followed, and with the same
• sitcoms. Our rendezvous was for 9 p.m., at Cor-
niglitho. Towards evening we learned from fresh.
denpatchea that the Neapolitan troop' bad evacu-
ated Paiermo ; this made es baits* se for a thou-
sand and -ass remise- se .abetiki pratee the third
expedition • but calailsting that if there should be
nothing to do in Sicily we could Morey we took •
earriage at midnight and drove off to Cornigliano.
The gardens of . the Villa della Ponsona, where was
the Teddekvotti for the volunteers, were deserted,
and weal:kW see the We steamers lying at anchor
off flestri. A little liskingpboat was lying on the shore,
so we coaxed the man to push off; and entered
we found it ankle deepen water, and in about
ten minuted' were climbing up the vessel's
side. Medici had furnished us with a letter to the
commander, who gave us a first-rate cabin, and
told us that we were the first on board.. Some
delay had been occasioned by the little steamer
Oregon jostling against the Washington in coming
out of the port of Genoa ; but with the exception
of smashing the wood-work near the paddle-box,
and breaking away a portion of the rails of the
upper deck, no ' great damage was done. For a
while we sat on deck watching the volunteers
coming up. Genoa looked more beautiful than
ever, the moonlight flooding her marble palaces
and spires ; and as it to bid us God speed on our
voyage, almost the only constellation visible be-
tween the fleecy clouds was Cession* Garibaldi's
star, by whose light he wended his way at night-
time across the mountains that divide Genoa from
Nice, when condemned to death by Charles Albert,
in 1834.

" The expedition is composed as follows :—Ship
Charles and Janet of Bath (U.S.), left Genoa at mid-
night, Bth June, in tow of steamer L'Utile, with
LW° men, under command of Major Corti.
" Steamship Franklin, Captain Origoni, left
Genoa at 10 p.m., 9th June, for Leghorn, to receive
on board 800 men, under command of Colonel
Malenchini.
" Steamer Oregon, Captain J. West Nievins,
left Genoa 10th June, 4 am., with 200 men, under
command of Major Called.
" Steam-ship Washington, of New York, flag-
ship, Captain Wm. Be Rohan, of Philadelphia,
with 1,400 men, under command of Lieut.-Colonel
Baldisseratto, an officer of the Sardinian navy, left
Genoa at half-past three am., 10th June.
"Total effective force of 3,600 men, well equipped
and armed, the whole under the command of
Colonel Medici, accompanied by a full staff. I
don't give you their names, as you have never
heard of any of them.
" I expected • crush, but abything to equal the
reality I bad not dreamed of. The volunteers are
packed like red herrings-4,400 on board this small
steamer of 400 tons. On the first day they only
E. 0.! I.lscrap of biscuit ; there was plenty of food on
but no getting at it. No one murmured ;
indeed the patience and cheerfulness of the volun-
teers are beyond all praise. Some of them,
many of them, are from the first Italian families,
who have never known a hardship in their lives ;
here they cannot even lie down to sleep, but
huddle together rolled up like balls ; many have to
stand all night. We had a long chat with twenty
of the famous Carabinieri of Genoa, who are going
out to reinforce emir company, of whom out of
thirty-five in one attack six were killed and fifteen
wounded. These twenty seem to dream of nought
save a like fate.

" ' Chi per Is patria muoja
Visssito he mai,'
they sing. One's faith in humanity increases
wonderfully here. I can't say the same for the
saloon, for I hear great snarling if the food is not
always of the best, thought really the only fault
one can honestly find is that we are not all put on
military rtfgime. Garibaldi embarked without a
drop of wine : I wish Medici had followed his
example. It is far too plentiful here. I should
like to send all the othoers up on deck fora day
and night to eat, drink, and sleep with the volun-
teers, it would do them a world of good. All the
first day, the 10th, we seemed waltzing round the
Oregon, as until we came in sight of Sardinia
Medici did not like to quit her in her smashed
condition. On the morning of the 11th we passed
Caprera, Garibaldi's Inland, coasted along Sardinia
all the day, and at 6 a.m. on the 12th anchored off
Cagliari, where, alas ! we are baking at the present
moment. At first it was decided that all should land
and be organised, but owing to rumours of fever and
certain other reasons, Medici hired two brigs,
and dividing the volunteers into three portions
gave them breathing room. This movement was
hailed with great delight, only, said one, ' our legs
have got so mixed up that we hardly know which
are our own.' They look extremely well in their
simple uniform, white trousers and grey or blue
blouse, faced with red. It is a pity, considering
the heat of Sicily, they have not retained the regular
Garibaldi hat, which would have sheltered the
face somewhat, but these stupid kepis are worse
than nothing. By the way, we have the famous
Englishman, Captain Pearl, on board ; he missed
Garibaldi's expedition, and is now going to join
him • he is captain of the 2nd Pavia brigade—a
handsome man, with long hair, beard tinged with
way ; blue English eyes, and an honest English
heart, much amused at the absurd stories that have
been told about him—a true military man, and a
worshipperof Garibaldi, intent on doing his utmost
for Italian independence.
" Captain De Rohen too is a character. I am not
at liberty to tell you how much we owe to him for
his exertions and pecuniary sacrifices in this expe-
dition. If the Neapolitans respect these 3,600
Sicilian exiles going home, pray remember that we
are that and nothing else. We may thank the stars
and stripes under which we sail.
"Thu is Thursday and the clipper is still missing.
We shall not wait for her beyond to-night, however.
Medici is on shore waiting for despatches from
Sicily ; none come, though from Genoa they
abound. Garibaldi's orders were that he should
go to Umbria and the Marches. It would be rare
fun if he should repeat the order now. Medici
would be in a fix, as he has Rositive orders from
Cavour not to do it, and this is natural. Cavour
could not act otherwise since his advice was asked.
Medici had he wanted to do it should have done it
first, and asked leave afterwards. Medici is •
splendid soldier, a good patriot, but has a little
too much of the red tape about him. I write in
haste, as up to this afternoon we were forbidden to
send letters on shore. I hope my next letter will
be from Palermo. I don't fancy we shall find the
alightint resistance.
Pray stir up our friends to send all the moneT
they can serape together to Dr. Bertani. He is
Garibaldi's representative, and he alone. Aiding
him you aid all the true patriots of Italy ; and
take that phrase in its truest meaning as we under-
stand it. They am singing on deck :
"Addle, Minatia, addle,
L'armata se no va,
Se nun pedlar inch' io,
Sarebbe una Tilts
Poor fellows ! how few of them may see their

Minettas again. A mother has just come on
to reeky& bur eon, • boy of Hi. She says she lost
one last year, and this is her last. They have given
him up to her.
"There has been a slight disoontent in. the
Turin' company, but Medici has set it. ill to
right,. He has a quiet, kindly dignity &bolt him
OA takes with the men.
" Beasesuber me to all friends, and believe me,

I strange Arab-hke city, with its long low *e of

The last aeoeunta from Sicily state that Garibaldi,
the day after the arrival of Medici and hie velun-
tears, a grand review at Palermo, and was
with enthusiasm.

Tax IBISLIOIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST.
OBOROZ xIN-rss-EAsr.

Tile disturbances in this parish were not confined
to the church last %Way evaatog, although the rioting
vdthin the sacred edifice was as determined as epos any
previous (ley. Mr. Dove, who intoned the prayers, was
nitenreptee shcam beginning to end ; sad the sermon,
which was reached by the Rev. Mr. Ward, of IJeleton,
altered s, swain fate. As soon lie the blaming was pro-
nounced from the altar, the congregation rushed ea *taut
to the doors, instead of remaining to gloat and howl as
they have usually done. They eallected in the • yard
round the entrance to the rectory, and as the clergy
arid chensten passed in they were heated and heeded.
Two or three of the choristers attempted to make their
way home, iced for that perpose went eat into (Amnon-
street, where their appears.", wee the signal for a terrific
unman. They were followed by amend hundreds of people
wtohised and yelled, and threw at them dirt, stones, and
anything else they could obtain. Once or twice the choristers,
who wore round collars similar to those adopted by Roman
catholic priests, and long coats, made a run for it, but the
mob ran too, and increased in numbers at every step. On
arriving in the Commercial-road an attempt was made to
beat Me choristers, and a desperate rush was made
upon them, hut three or four policemen who arrived at
the tune kept the mob back as well as they could, and the
choristers darted down a narrow street. The mob folkmed
and drove them back into the Oemmernal-roed. At this
time they seemed undecided as to the course they should pur-
ees, and one of them tried to go back so that he might take
refer in the clergy-house in Genes-street, but the mob
refused to let him do so, and drove him and his friends in
an opposite direction along the commercial-road, on reach-
ing the top of which they mad* another attempt to escape
by down a street at the rear of Whiteehapel church,
into the W hiteekspol-road. The mob, which at thick time
ecesketed of at least 1,000 persons, followed them with loud
esecratioes, and matters threatinuig to become airline, two
of them took refuge in a coffee-douse. Peremptory orders
were shouted by the mob that " the Puseyites should be
turned out," sad turned oat they were, to be knocked about
by their 'Mask assailants. It was now suggested that the
only way by which an escape could be effected would be by
the polio* who were present blockading the entrance of one
of the MTV" streets after the choristers had made a dart
down, and this stratagem succeeded, although the police
had a desperate fight with the mob in their efforts to keep
them beck. Where the choristers eventually got to nobody
seemed to 1:1110W, but they managed to escape their assail-
ants, who rushed after them as soon as the police abandoned
their position at the top of the street, after valiantly main-
taining it about ten minutes. On the previous Sunday even-
ing the Rey. Mr. Ibbeteon, curate of Morpeth, who took
part in the service, was followed in a similar manner, and
took refuge in a public-home in Bethnal-green, front which
he was ejected upon the demand of the mob. He at length
escaped by jum into a Hansom cab, which wee pining
at the time, driving off as fast as he could.

An extraordinary meeting of agricultural La-
bourers was held at Swindon a few days ago, for the
purpose of considering the rate of wages which they are
recearuig. Meet of the speakers stated that they received
only nixie shillings • week, sad a peat deal of distress
appeared to exist among them. A simile was roomadeuded
by one speaker, but the suggestion was not embodied in a
resolution.

GREAT GARIBALDI MEETDIG AT LERDS.—Last
evening a crowded meeting, expressive of the sympathy of
the people of Leeds with the heroic Garibaldi, was held at
the town-hall—Mr. Darken Lupton in the chair. The first
resolution moved by Mr. Joseph Cliffs, and seconded by
Alderman Middleton, expressed the sympathy of the meet-
ing with the efforts made by theSitilians and Italianenoder
Garibaldi to overthrow the cruel and crushing tyranny
of the Neapolitan government. This motion was enthu.
siutically carried. On the motion of Mr. Thomas Black-
burn Baines, of the Leeds Mercury, a memorial to Lord
I'illitler3tUil WAY adopted, expressive of the horror of Eng-
, nehmen at the atrocities of the Neapolitan government.
and of admiration of the noble efforts of the Sicilians and
their friends to free themselves from the Neapolitan
tyranny. It also set forth the approval of the meeting
of the opinions expressed by Lord Palmerston in the House
of COllllllOllll aa to the feelings and the policy of the English
goverunalit in reference to Garibaldi' attempt to aid the
Sicilians in throwing off an infamous oppression, and
prayed that, while on our part the principle of non-inter-
vention might be adhered to, the influeure of the govern.
ment would be used to prevent intervention by any other
power, particularly by France and Austria. Lord Palnier-
stotee conduct was loudly applauded. A subscription in
aid of the cause was afterwards entered into.

COURT OF ALDSRAINS.—A Court of Aldermen was
bald yesterday, after the Common Hall, the Lord Mayor
prearding, at which the Chamberlain and Bridge-masters
were 11•10111 in with the usual formalities. Mr. Healy
Yonall, the assistant clerk at the Guildhall justice-room,
was permitted to resign on his appointment to the office of
clerk of special sessions for the City of London, and other
business of a routine character was transacted before the
adjournment of the court.
Baran AND HANTS EXTENSION' RAILWAY.—The
Marquis of Ailesbury performed the ceremony of taming
the first sod of this line yesterday in a field near Great
Beilwyn Church, about five miles from the Hungerfonl-
station of the present Haim and Hants branch of the Great
Western Railway. The new line, which will extend from
Hungerford to Devizes, and shorten the route between the
former and other towns on that branch with those in the
west and south-wart of &gland, will be 22 miles in length,
and leaving Hungerford will pass through Froxfield, Little
Bedwyn,Greet Itedwyn,Croftors, Pensey, and on to Devizes.
ALLEORD POISONINGS BY ANTIMONY IN LlVER-
POOL—Yesterday a man aged 45, Thos. Winslow by tame,
was brought before Mr. Raffles, the Liverpool stipendiary
magistrate, charged with having poisoned Mrs. Auu Junes,
• widow, and keeper of a boarding-house in Vauxhall-riled,
with whom the prisoner had lived for some years as
arr. The deceased, it appears, was 42 years of age,
d tre prisoner was aware that she had made a will, dis-
posing of her property to some nephews, • niece, and •
sister (Mrs. Tout:wend), who lived with her. The prisoner
was thought so highly of that he was appointed residuary
legatee. In September, 1859, Mrs. Touneend was attacked
wish vomiting sad ping, and died ; on the 18th Dec.
her daughter was seized iu • similar way, and died ; and
couple 11th Jan. last her son (and Mrs. Jones's nephew),
Sensual Totureed, was attacked with the nine symptoms,
and died. In January last Ifni. Jones was herself
attacked with vomiting and purging, but being
promptly attended by a medical man she recovered.
In 'much she was again thus seized, and recovered,
and towards the end of May the symptoms returned, Dr.
Cameron, her attendant, having his suspicions aroused by
the frequency of such symptoms, took an opportunity of
analysing some of the ichargsse, and discovered the pre-
Oence of antimony. He persuaded Mrs. JOSOS to be re-
moved to the hospital, which was done about a fortnight
ago, but notwithstanding every care and attention she died
on Sunday. A quantity of cooked sage which had been
prepared by the prisoner was found by her bedside before
she was removed, and it was stated that she had partaken
of it two or three hours before she was attacked on the last
occasion. A portion of the sago was analysed, and found to
aontain antimony, wheraus the uncooked sago found in the
home did not contain antimony. These facts having been
laid before the magistrate*, Mr. Parker, solicitor fur the pri-
soner, applied for • seven days' adjournment of the case,
which was granted. It is understood that in the meantime
the body of the late Mrh. Jones will be exhumed, and an
analysis made of the contents of the stomach.
Twit SUNDAY BANDS.-011 Sunday the baud per-
formed I. the Regent's Park for the first time this season,
at the same spot where it was located the previous year,
and, as an the former csocaawn, upon a raised platform. The
