GARIBALDI AT CABRERA.

Tho Dirilto of the 16th contains the following
letter from Garibaldi :—" Caprera, 10th October,
1867.—Dear Friends —I am a complete prisoner ;
and I leave you to ihink in what frame of mind,
knowing Menotti and my friends to be engaged
on Roman territory. Exhort people not to leave
me in this prison. A greeting to all from
yours ever, G. GARIBALDI." The Diritto also
publishes the following letter from Signor
Boss*, the secretary of General Garibaldi :
" Caprera, Bth October, 1867.—1 would write
a long letter to you, but fear it would not
reach you. I will merel tell you that when they
arrested us the commander of the Sesia did not
treat us very well, and they were within an ace of
sending us to the bottom. This you do not know ;
well, they had the gallantry to treat us to a couple
of cannon shot and half-a-dozen bullets ; the balls,

I assure you, whizzed along magnificently ; ho;C:
ever, they wounded nobody. The Italians ought
to know this also. We are rigorously guarded.
Yours, &c., 80890. "

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT BRITAIN FROM Ant-
TRALIA.—LIVEZPOOL, Ocr. 18.—The steamer Great
Britain from Melbourne 57 days, with 109,750 oza. of
gold, arrived off Holyhead this morning.
SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—Great depres-
sion appears to exist in tho shipbuilding trade on the
Clyde. This state of matters has been growing worm and
worse since the spring of 1865, when the American shipping
entered the field of competition from which it had been
practically excluded during 1864, and the demand for
blockade runners ceased. The decrease is seen by the fact
that the tonnage of the vessels built on the Clyde during
1866 was 124,500, while the year before it was 153,900—
being a decrease of 29,400 tons ; and it is not to be ex-
pected that the current year will show en improvement,
but rather the opposite, for the returns for the first nine
months of the year indicate only en average of 9,858 tons
a month, while in 1866 the average was 10,X33 ; in 1865,
12,827 tons ; in 1864, 14,875 tons. Comparing the average
of the current year with 1864, it would appear that there
will be a deficit of 60,000 tons against the former ; andthis
implies the loss of employment, directly or indirectly, to
10,000 men, and an annual loss of about half a million in
Ingot alone.—Seatsman.
