GARIBALDI'S YOUNGEST SON.

Ricciotti Garibaldi, the youngest son of the
peat Italian patriot, was last night presented with ea
address by the workmen of Messrs. Evan Leigh and Son,
engineers, Miles Platting. The address was intended as ■
compliment to the illustrious father of the youth, who has
lately boon the guest of Mr. Evan Leigh, and it was couched
in the following terms:
"We, the workmen in this establishment, feel desirous
that your visit to the city of Manchester should not termi-
nate without some slight memento being placed in your
hands, which may in future years refresh your memory
with the thoughts of pleasant hours spent at that period of
your life when the guest of our employers. We also desire
to express, through you, our admiration of the noble and
brilliant services rendered to the cause of freedom by your
illustrious father, and we hope that Providence will watch
over his valuable life and that of his family, until he has
perfected that which we believe to have been his night
dreams and morning thoughts for years, namely, the entire
emancipation of the fair land of Italy from despotic thrul.
dum ; and when that is accomplished, may the evening of
his life be passed in calm tranquillity, peace, and harmony,
in the bosom of his family.
(Signed on behalf of the workmen)

"THOMAN .OUTER, Chairman."

Master it. GIRIBALDI was loudly cheered when he rase.
He bad looked rather serious before, but his countenance
beamed with delight as be witnessed the cordial outburst of
feeling. He said, in a pleasant voice, and in good English:
—" Goutlemen,—l thank you sincerely for the compliment
you have paid to my father through me. lam sure he will
be much gratified on perusing this beautiful address, ex-
pressing your thoughts so feelingly about the cause of free-
dom, which he has so much at heart, and your kind wishes
for his welfare. Few things are more calculated to cheer
and stimulate him in his arduous undertaking for the inde-
pendence and happiness of his country than the warm sym-
pathy of the intelligent working men of England." (Loud
and continued cheering, followed by hearty cheers for his
brother and sister, which were also acknowledged.)
Master Garibaldi is in the 14th year of his age, and is
being educated at Birkenhead. He is likely to return
thither by the end of this week.

Last evening a lecture on " William Pitt, the
Politician," wee delivered by Mr. Fawcett, of Cambridge

particularly to the members of the Bermondsey Working
Men's Institute. There was a numerous attendance.

Yesterday afternoon Professor Owen delivered
the wend of his course of lectures on fishes at the Royal
Institution.

The circumstance of the proposal for an exchange
by the Rank of Fnince of 1,200,000 f. in ..ilver for gold from
the Imperial Bank at St. Petersburg haring been broken
off (says the Times) has created some surprise, and led to
conjectures as to the possibility of political feeling having
been mixed up with the event. The arrangement was eon.
entered an accomplished fact both ha Paris and St. Peters-
burg, but the Emperor of Russia is understood at the last
moment to have refused his sanction.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-
WESTERN RAILWAY.-DEATH OF DR. WIL-
LIAM BALY, M.D., PHYSICIAN TO HER
MAJESTY.

From inquiries made at St. Thomas's Hospital,
to-day, we learned that Miss liaidee Power, aged 22 years,
daughter of Colonel Power, of Smithies, who was injured
in the accident yesterday, is progressing favourably, as also
are the sufferers, George Mall, aged 21 years, ticket
collector, and Mr. William Fußinger. We regret to state
that Dr. William Baly, M.D., of No. 45, Queen Anne-
street, Cavendish-square, is recognised as the gentleman
who was killed. He was principal physician to her Majesty,
Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Physician to
Millbank Prison, and Lecturer on Forensic Medicine at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital ; and Fellow of the Royal Col.
legs, and of Medical, Chemical, and Statistical Societies.
His death is a great loss to the medical profession. He had
been telegraphed for, we believe, by a patient, and 1111.4 011
his way to the place where the patient resided, when the
above accident occurred.

The following letter is from a passenger :
"I left Waterloo station by the train which leaver at
6.10 and rune direct to Kingston, but calls at all the stations
beyond. On nearing Wimbledon it was observed that the
train proceeded very slowly, and presently, on looking out,
the alarm signals were visible. In a few minutes the
train came to a full stop. There wax a hurrying to and
fro of officials, but, as usual, no one knew what had
happened, anti the passengers were requested to keep their
seats. But Chi,' was not endurable after a lapse of about ten
minutes, especially as it began to be rumoured that ► train
in advance was off the line. With many others I got out of
the carriage, and we made our way along the banks. In a
few minutes we came to a second train. ' What time did
you leave London! 'At 540.' We passed on, and found
a third train drawn up. The same inquiry was made. The
answer was, '315.' This was alarming. Three trains were
now visibly blocked. The passengers (all full trains, it being
early iu the evening) wore in a state of almost uncon.
trollable alarm, end many, like ourselves, were groping their
way along the banks to the scene of the disaster, marked out
by the display of red lights, the noise of escaping steam, and
the confused sounds that met our ears. At last we gained
the spot precisely at the junction of the Epsom line with the
South Western main, and in the flash of the Linterus that
were moving in all directions we observed that a tender
and several carriages bad been rolled down the embank.
ment—some 20 feet, at least—and were piled up in a
hideous ruin between the two lines. It was not easy
to learn whether any passengers bad been killed or
injured, many contradictory statements being made.
Presently there was a gathering round the spot, voices
were lambed, and people drawn together, as around
a grave. The moon was just rising above the trees, and
loomed round and red through the hare upon a battered
corpse that had but a few moments before been dragged
from the wreck. The body was that of an elderly gentle-
' man, unknown to anyone present. [Dr. Baby.] The spectacle
it presented was too sickening to describe in detail. I have
heard and read of railway accidents, but never before felt
the indignation and sickness of heart which overpowered
nee, in common with all present, I believe, at that moment.
There, bleeding and mangled in the midst of strangers, the
grey hair covered with dust and blood, lay the beloved form
of one for whom his family were at that moment waiting
in joyful expectation. This was all I saw, but a few
moments before 1 was told that a lady bad been carried
away who was only able to gasp out that she was the
daughter of a gentleman at Portsmouth—a Captain
leDonald, I believe--and was expected home by her
father. 1 understand there wax no hope of her recovery.
This morning I have been told of a second body, which is
now awaiting, with the one I saw, a coroner's inquest. It
is to prevent that inquiry becoming a mockery and a sham
that I beg you to insert this hastily written narrative."

THE RECORD OFFICE.-RESIGNATION OP
HR. TURNBULL.

Mr. Turnbull writes to the Times, " Having for
eighteen months been the object of a persecution involving
my personal honour by three societies the chief of which is
the ' Protestant Alliance,' I have felt that no other course
was open to me but to resign an appointaseut sanctioned
bysthe Lonls of her Majesty's Treasury. I therefore bane
to request that you will have the kindness to insert the en.
cloeW letters."
" Public Record-office, Calendaring
Department, Jan. 28, 1881.
" Sir,— I am at • loss to express the pain which I feel at
finding myself still the cause of a religious controversy
which seems to be hamming more embittered day by day.
Strong though my religious convictions may be considered
by some, I am not the less conscious of my own rectitude,
and I feel that 1 am the innocent object of a persecution
which consistently with the precepts of our common
Christianity cannot be justified. This state of things,
however, must be now brought to an end; for 1 catnot,
for my own individual advantage, allow the public mind
to be disturbed by au acrimonious discussion of my
merits or demerits, from which no conuttercurate
beneficial results can by any possibility arise. 1,
therefore, with many thanks fur your kind patronage,
and with deep gratitude for the kind protection which you
have so feelingly afforded me, beg to resign into your hands
the Calendarship of the Foreign State Papers with which
you honoured me in the month of August, lsr,V.- --I have

" My dear Sir,—lt is with much regret that I have road
your letter, resigning your present employment. I feel,
however, that I cannot press you to retain a situation which
subjects you to so much persecution as that to which I have
inadvertently exposed you. My regret at your resig-
nation is, however, mainly founded on the public loss which
will I believe be sustained by the discontinuance of your
services; nor will it be easy to find a gentleman both
willing to carry ou the very arduous task in which vou
have been engsgM, and also possaaed of the peculiar
knowledge sod -capacity required for that purpose. I
ainuot conclude without expressing the high esteem I
entertain for yourself personally, and the pain I feel that
any society of English gentlemen, professedly founded on
religious principles, should have been found to exist in this
country who have considered it consistent with the charity
on which those principles are based, to endeavour by cc
parte statements, and confidential canvassing, to remove
from an employment for which he is peculiarly fitted a gen.
tlemsn so honourable and trustworthy as I consider you
to be.—l am yours very sincerely,

A letter from Eeeeg (Sclavouia) announces that,
during the night of the 13th inst., the Imperial eagles were
torn down from the front of the Palatine l'alace and re-
placed by the &lave flag (red, white, and blue). The Pala.
ties, it is said, gave the first commissary of the comitat
orders to hoist the &lave tag.

TUE SOCIAL EVIL Qu:8110N AT DLIBLIN.—The
midnight meeting mode of abating the social evil adopted
in London has been tried at Dublin, with a fair promise of
excellent results. On Monday night a number of gentle•
men went two and two through the city, and presented
cards to the unfortunate females whom they met in the
streets, inviting them to a social meeting in the Merchants'
Hall. Tea and calces were provided in abundance, at tabled
ranged round the large room, which were presided over by
several benevolent ladies. About twenty clergymen, of
different denominations, took part in the proceedings,
during the course of which a number of impressive exhor-
tatious were delivered, accompanied by prayer and the
siuging of hymns. Nearly 200 young women were present.
and nothing could exceed the propriety and earuestnum
with which this singular assembly conducted themselves.
Many of them were moved to tears during the delivery of
the addresees. Some were extremely youthful, and many
had all the appearance of having been respectably brought
up. About twenty availed themselves of the offer of the
kind friends who originated the movement, and went to
the home provided for them.
CURIOUS WILL CA/SR.—Judge Keatinge has given
judgment in the Court of Probate, Dublin, in a will rase
which came before him under rather singular circum-
stanced'. In July, Im4.W, the Rev. Martin Osly, l'.P., of
Rathilowney, in the Queen's County, being on " retreat,"
with a number of other priests, in the Roman Catholic
College of Kilkenny, embraced the opportunity of settling
at once his spiritual and temporal affairs, the mot firmer•
tant of which was, of course, the preparation of his will.
Going one day with a sheet of seta-paper in hie heed into
the room where the Rev. Merin. howling and Walsh were
engaged in some private business, he told them he wanted
them to witness his will, and, folding down the end of a
page, he presented a blank portion, upon which he wrote
his name, sal they subscribed theirs as witnerves. A
question arose as to whether this was a sufficient corn.
planes with the conditions of the statute. The Rev. Mr.
Dowling could not swear whether there was any writin. at
all on the sheet except the signatures, and if the case luidl
rested upon his evidence alone the will would probably
have been set aside. The other wituesa, however, swore that
he saw some writing on the paper in the testator's hands
though he could not say whether it then contained all the
writing now upon it. The court held that, under tke dr.
cumetances, there being nothing to rebut the presumption
that the will was completely written out when pre•ented
for attestation, the execution was sufbeient.
