OsiItIBALDI'S MANIZEBTO.

The Roman correspondent of the Tablet saps :
" Mazzini's manifesto of last week has been suc-
ceeded by one from Garibaldi, in which ha informs
his friends and brethren of the approach of
another crisis. 'Let the patriots number their
ranks, organise themselves, and hold themselves in
readiness. AS soon u the republic shall be proclaimed
at Madrid, we intend to act throughout the peninsula,
and overthrow a king whose hesitations fetter and retard
tho free march of the nation. The republicans, supported
by the people, will only stop at the Capitol.' This (adds
the writer) is plain quaking, and catholic. will do well to
lay to heart the warning that has been given them."

RABBIT SHOOTING.

(From the Loodenfterime.)

We once heard a Euckinghamshire farmer
relitve his mind on the subject of rabbits, and he con-
cluded by saying, " I wish there was but one rabbit in the
world, and that I had hold of him by the hind-legs."
What would have become of that solitary rabbit we
shudder to think. Certainly his chance of dis-
porting himself of a summer evening among the young
corn would have been smalL Admitting the great damage
done by rabbits compared with that done by winged
game, still the rabbit is of infinite use to the preserver of
game. lie protects the more valuable pheasant from the
foxes, and be helps wonderfully to swell the return at the
end of a day's cover-shooting. lie is a remarkably jolly
e playful little fellow, too. Watch him in the twit tas
hop out of his hole, and between each jump nibbles a
bit of young clover, ten sib up on his find-legs look-
ing about him, washes his face, stamps upon the
ground, and then chases one of his friends and neighbours
in a circle over the green. It would be • shame to im-
prove him off the face of the earth. However, of that
there is little likelihood. Even in some parts of Australia
he has increased and multiplied to such an extent as to have
become a serious nuisance. There are two ways of rabbit
shooting pure and simple : the one with ferrets, which
is by no means a livel occupation in cold weather, the
rabbits generally declining to bolt from their holes with
sufficient rapidity, unless, as • warrener once told us, " the
sign is in their tow," which we believe had some vague
reference to Old Moore's Almanaek ; and the other with
beagles in the open. Of all delightful enjoyments on •
frosty Chrhinam-dim eimiseend us to this sport. It com-
bines hunting and iseeftg; there is hard running for
theirs who like it, and there is plenty of opportunity for
exercising judgment by Son who prefer that their heads
should save their heals. What can be more
when the ground hi hard with frost and the hunters
confined to walking exercise, than to find owedf on a
broad Surrey heath with a light breechloader, three
friends, and Ave or six couples of beagles? There are
but few earths, and those few are stopped, so that the.
rabbit when found rune almost like a hare. With
two guns on either side of the keeper who
hunts dogs, the draw begins ; soon one of them
gives tonve, and a moment after the whole mlao.inaLt,

is less careful to shelter hisself, and a shot rewards the

mile chase, always abreast of the leading dogs, • sudden

chase. To enjoy this sport in perfection rabbit'

ten minutes, to that a of from 20 to 30 rabbits will
mean a thoroughly good y's sport. Of course there is
an occasional shot at a hare or • woodcock, and now and
then at • pheasant strayed from a neighbouring cover.
' There is another advantage attending this amuse-
ment—every man is allowed to make as much noise
as he pleases, he can cheer on the dogs, encourage
the diligent and admonish the skulker, without fear of a
reprimand. There is no autocrat of the hunting-field
here, before whose strong language he must stand guiltily
route should his enthusiasm have got the better of his dis-
cretion ; but every man does that which is right in the
sight of his own eyes. Of rabbit as an amemory to'other
shooting little need be said. Every one knows bow dull
many a good day's cover-shoot Mg would have been had
the rabbits been eliminated, and bow a few rabbits
lying in the open on a frosty day increase the pleasure
of wild rough sport. A shot every quarter of an
hour is needful to keep up the eadtement and to prevent

semen this would not be got without the rabbit. Of

ATTACKED BY A BULL.—A few days ago, a large
fat bull belonging to Messrs. Burkina, of Grovebary
farm, was purchased in the fair by Yr. Thomas Birdasy,
and taken to his premises at Lindide. The animal was
said to be as_" quiet u a lamb," but on Richard Clark,
one of Mr. BRdsey's men, attempting to 'give it some
oikake, the bead ran at him, and stingupon the
side with its bead, knocked him down and fractured kis
ribs. Clark lay quite still fora short time, and the bull
perceiving this, left him, and began to toes his hat about ;
and while the animal was annudog himself in this man-
ner' Clark stealthily crawled oat of the place in whim's

IMPORTANT DECultott.—An important deci-
sion was rendered in the Supreme Court at Bioko/end.
Va. by Judge Underwood, on Saturday. A woman
named Sally Andersen was brought before the court on a
habeas corpus, die having received the deathlessness, foe
the crime of anon. It was contended in her Milli that
one of the before wham she was tried was
disqualified from olding office by the 14th ammedmunt to
the eseeiliation, he having been is the rebel service, and
that esnesquintly the court which sentenced her was
mertituted. The hundredsuitained the idea and

victs, now is prison, and who were tried by courts Nisi-
tarty constituted, will doubtless take advantage of this

A PLAGUE-STRICKEN CREW.—This week the
schooner Julia Ellen, belonging to Mr. Duckitt, mer-
chant, of Preston, arrived at Liverpool, bringing informa-
tion of a melancholy disaster which had befallen her crew
while off the coast of Sierra Leone. It appears that the
Julia Ellen, under the command of Captain Edward
Rymer of Preston, left Liverpool on the 17th June.having
on board a general cargo, it reached its destination,
Sierra Leone and Shark°, all safe,making a speedy voyage.
On the 7th of September it left Sierra Leone for the
homeward voyage, taking one passenger. The vessel
bad only been two days out at sea, when Captain
Rymer was attacked with the black fever. Being an
abstemious man. and having n good knowledge of medi-
cine, he succeesfully warded off the malady for a few days,
but succumbed at het, and died on the 17th. He was
buried a few hours afterward", when it was discovered
that the disease was spreading among the remainder of
the crew. The mate, a man named Powell, who had been
attacked shortly before the captain's death, died directly
afterwards, and two others of the crew became dan-
gerously ill. There were then only the passenger.
a black sailor, and a boy left in health, and
the paescager presently fell ill. Feeling certain that
he too world fall a victim to the disease, and that
his remaining in the schooner might cause the
two remaining healthy persons to be stricken, he jumped
overloud and sank to the bottom. The schooner then
sailed back to Sierra Leone the two of the crew suffering
were put in the hospital, where they lay on the point of
death. The authorities, on seeing that the crew was thus
reduced to the black man and the boy referred to, fur-
nished the schooner with Captain Thomas Patterson
Lowe and • black crew, who have brought the vessel
back. Several of the unfortunate men have left relatives
in this country, who on Wednesday visited the schooner,
looking after the effects of their deceased friends. Captain
Edward Rymer belonged to Preston, where he leaves a
widow and two boys. He was • sober and intelligent
seaman. and much
PIRACY IN TlirnerCeltlC.—Captain E. F. Nye,
of the wheat, chip William Retch, writes to the lionolule
ddrertimr--" About the end of January or the Ist of
February, lfifie, the Prussian barque Cayaltil, sailing
under American colours, left Callao, the principal port of
Peru, for Arequipa, distant about two days' sail, with a
cargo of fifty coolies, which had just been =portal from
China in the French ship Proeidenzia, now in this part.
The owner of the coolies, who was also owner of the
vessel and of a sugar estate in Peru, was on board. He
had just purchased these labourers for his plantation.
and had with him a supply of rice and stores, 20,000
dollars in coin, and other valuables. The morning
after leaving Callao the coolies rose upon the unsus-
pecting crew, captured them, and killed the man at
the wheel and the second mate. The captain and the first
officer were is their berths asleep, but were soon aroused
by the noise. On seg the vessel in possession of the
coolies, they threw some benches out of the cabin window
and then jumped out, intending to save themselves by
swimming ashore. The pirates lowered a boat, pulled for
the captain and mate, and killed them both while in the
water. They then returned to the ship, took the crew,
nine in number, consisting of Americans, Portuguese,
Spaniards, tied them each hand and foot, and lashed them
to a hawser. They then fastened an Whet to thik
hawser' and threw the whole overboard. Of course,
the anclim sank, carrying the men with it to the
bottom, and they were drowned. The owner, Mr.
Baracondegui, who is well connected in Lima, was
left in the cabin with his servant, a faithful Chinaman,
who had been with him many years. He was armed
with revolvers, and, seeing his weapons, the pirates feared
to molest him. The servant boy then Interceded with
them to spare his own and his master's lives, which they
agreed to do on condition that he would deliver up hfs
wee to them. This he did after some delay, evidently
ha some misgiving about their honesty. They then
put e vessel about and ran off before the south-
east trades, in a north-Treetet :vane for China.,
There were four or five ringleaders in the gang,
but none appear to have understood navigation.
They knew that China was off to the north-west,
and that was about all. The voyage across tl4
Pacific, more than 10,000 miles, appears to have been
made without seeing tanci Jr vessels. On the let of April
they passed the Hurtle Islands into the Ochotak Sea. where
the barque ran into the ice and lay for six days, the
pirates improving the opportunity to fill thou water
casks. They got into clear water on the 23rd of April,
and came to anchor off the ' Sand Spit,' in the north-
east Gulf, on the west shore of the Kamschatka Penin-
sula. Here they took the owner and his servant ashore,
and allowed them to escape ; and after travelling &l
the coast for about 30 miles they arrived at a small
settlement, where they found provisions, and remained till
a whaler hove in sight. Mr. Barsoondegui was offered a
Caeto Honolulu by Captain Hamilton, of the Sea-
rit and his servant was taken on board the Hercules,
both of which vessels will be here in • few days. Soon
after the owner and his servant were set ashore, the
piratical craft weighed anchor and 'mat to sea, stending
of to westward with • stiff east wind. She has not been
heard from since, and_is supposed to have been wreaked
in same part of the Ottk Sea. The dm ringleaders
divided half their prise money (20,000 dole.) among thala-
mi's', 2,000 doh. bo each, and the remainder was divided
amomg ffse rest, 46 in number, 222 doh. to each. Cap.'
teat Kerb* of the ship Providence, informs me that cm
the from China to Callao the coolies showed no
to be refractory, and he had no trouble what-
ever with them'
