GENERAL GARIBALDI.

The Brescia= having offered Garibaldi the free-
dom of their town now that he loses it at Nice,
he answered them on the 15th in the following
words, which everybody applies to Sicily and to
Nice :

If there is a citizenship of which a man may be proud it
is certainly that of Brescia, the town which, when the Ita-
lian army fought at Novara, did not count the number of
the enemies nor weigh their fury, and did not buy a servile
existence by the villany of silence and indifference. It was
inconsistent with the proud character of the town to bend
the knee before the usurper, not caring for the brothers
who shed their blood on the battle-field for the salvation of
all Italy.
The war-cry of the strong town was lost in the wide
plain. The conservative and corrupt class, among whom
income has always met with cheers, strangled the generous
feelings of the population. One stasis echo responded from
the mountains of llamoszi, bashful like a maiden, but with
the soul of Camillus—l will so speak of the Rornan•—made
the valleys of Bergamo resound with the voice of the duty
of tuitional unity, and with a handful of brave mountaineers
brought assistance to Brescia.
How noble is it to throw oneself into the surf of the see
for the rescue of a brother ! How tranquil is the conscience '
of the patriot who has done his duty ! How vile is it to
abandon the brother to the chains of oppression, while we
take refuge, under one pretext or the other, in cold, cri-
minal, abominable egotism.
The misfortunes of Italy have always arisen from the
same came. that those who were not directly threatened
forsook their brothers in danger ; and if the present is more
edifying by the admirable unanimity of all the populations
of the Peninsula, it is still stained by one Unmoral and dia.
honourable deed. _ _ _ _ _

la;oeirwitigratitude the freedom of the town offered
by our Brescia ; but,u an Italian and Nizsanl Ido not
mean to forsake my cradle, the grave of my mother, and the
right., of Italy, or the land of Segurena and of Yaassaa.

Tat Vounrraza MovarraT.—The rapid and
healthy growth of the volunteer movement in our land bids
fair to restore to us an institution from the decay of which
we have long suffered. Play, honest, physical, hard play—
has been of late far too much neglected by our adult and
youthful population, and with the inevitable results. At 30
we are very apt to give up boating and cricketing, while a
tramp over the brown stubbles after the part gm and a
plloy over the breezy downs with the hounds, are luxuries
obtainable but for a few months in the year, even when
they come within the means of a working family man. To
the vast majority they are, of course, unattainable, and to
such, physical pastime, consequent upon the martial duties
we have voluntarily undertaken, has become an admirable
substitute for the physical play which we Live given up
from necessity or neglect. —Once a Week.

and some other courts which the judges had to attcuL
made such heavy demands open their time.
Mr. Justice Bytes said his brother Willem would probalA
be detained in the Divorce Court until the end of term,
until so late that there would be no opportunity of
posing of this rule. Next term one of the judges present
when the rule came on would be at nisi prius, and
until Faster Term next year, when, if nothing happened,
the same four judges would be in court again.
It was ultimately arranged that the matter should stars!
