Garibaldi and the London Press.,

TO THE ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS,APRIL '26.

I cannot leave England without offering a public
homage to the power of the British press, and a
special tribute of gratitude to all those journals
which were the sincere and faithful organs of public
opinion towards me, and the benevolent interpreters
of my admiration and feelings towards the nation
who gave me hospitality.
I send, therefore, a hearty greeting to all the
representatives of the press.
To the editor of The Sun. G. GARIBALDI.

Illustrious cities, highly reputed corporations, re-
presentative bodies from every class of citizens, have
honoured me with countless addresses, to which my
heart would have desired, but time is wanting me
to answer worthily.

I hope, nevertheless, to be allowed to fulfil in
part my debt, by this special farewell of affection
and gratitude to all.
On this occasion I cannot, however, speak of my-
self alone, because I must not interpret the many
eloquent and - generous words that have been ad-
dressed to me as a mere personal honour—which is
of little importance beside the greatness of the
cause for which in these days the heart of the Eng-
lesh people and mine have throbbed in unison—
but as a fresh proof of that sympathizing solicitude
that the richest, the most prosperous, and the freest
nation is the world nourishes towards another na-
tion,which has been twice recognised as the mother
of civilisation, and has through martyrdom, through
persevering struggles, carried on with daring and
with wisdom, become worthy of reassuming her
place in the world, and proclaiming, I am risen.
For this reason I believe I can reveal the thought
of Italy to England, as I believe I may hold up
England as an example and a hope to Italy. The
two nations are already sisters; they may speak
together in sincerity and confidence.
In England the institutions of the country, the
respect for the laws, all that prodigious contexture
of autonomous and yet organised forces,of order true
and lawful, not vulgar or violent, combined with
absolute individual freedom, freedom of conscience,
freedom of domicile, freedom of the press, of speech,
and of association ; the right of national defence,
not the privilege of a special body, but recognised
to all ; an army bright in glory, yet untainted with
that disease of modern times known under the sini.
ster name of militarism ; the rifle volunteers, Eng-
land's pride and my dream, the strength, the deco-
rum, the activity, the perseverance—the persever-
ance, above all, by which when once a position or an
institution is conquered retreat is never known—all
thc3e things which form the admiration of civilised
peoples from afar and excite an intense desire to
emulate, I would almost say to envy on a nearer
view, may and should be proposed as an example
to Italy.
For myself it was impassible to spend a few days
in this land without doing homage to these many
truths, and still more without freely recording them
to my fellow-countrymen, not so much in testimony
of the deep impression England has left on my own
mind as for a lesson and incitement to them.

To the English people I have nothing to recall
which they do not know. They know what Italy
desires. Italy has made up her mind to exist; she
has the right to do so, and if any should doubt it, I
would add that she already exists in fact, and that
nothing will prevent her completing herself. Italy
desires but to break the yoke of the two adverse
powers that oppress her, and, let the world hear it,
she can never rest until she shall have accomplished
this aim, which is for her a question of life or death.
The English people—who would rather disappear
under their ocean than allow the sacred soil of their
country to be violated by the foreigner—will com-
prehend how legitimate are the aspirations and how
immovable the resolves of my country.
England knows that in disinterestedly co-operat-
ing in favour of the destinies of Italy in 1860 she
contributed to further order and peace in Europc—
that peace and that order N% hich alone are durable
and beneficent, because founded on juice and on
progress. England will, I am convinced, be ever
more and more confirmed in this view—that if it is
for Italy to show herself strong and really to be
strong and independent of servile alliances, in order
to induce confidence from her true friends (among
whom the first place is due to England), England
herself will see in how much the alliance of ayoung,
civilized, and free nation like Italy is preferable to
the heterogeneous and insecure connubium with
despotic Powers. Yet I cannot hope, I say it with
grief, that Italy will be able to accomplish her des-
tiny without again encountering the direful proof
of arms. England's voice is listened to and re-
spected; she is in a great degree arbitress of the
fate of Europe, but let her be fully persuaded that
she can never solve the Italian question, or that of
the other nationalitie3, by any contrivance of corn-
pensations and diplomatic exchanges.

But, in face of the great principle of the solidarity
of peoples, proclaimed and sanctioned by universal
conscience, I cannot speak of Italy alone, still less
at a time when the omen and promise of this true
holy alliance has been irrevocably confirmed, when
lately I pressed the hands of proscribed men from
every part of Europe.

On quitting this hospitable shore I can no longer
conceal the secret wish of my heart in recommend-
ing the cause of oppressed peoples to the most gene-
rous and sagacious of nations. Since their arising
is certain and their triumph fated, England will
know how to spread over them the powerful shield
of her name, and to sustain them, if need be, with
her strong arm.
England knows that she will not be alone in this
great mission. Across the Straits there lives
another gigantic people that has been ofttimes im-
pelled by the arts of despotism to he the rival and
the enemy of this country, but which freedom will
be the means of turning into peaceful competitor
and friend.

Freedom ! this is the sun that would fructify the
sincere and formidable alliance of the two peoples
—of civilization against savagery—and by which,
without unsheathing the sword, the great work of
the peace of the world would be installed.

G. GARIBALDI.
Penquite-park, Cornwall, April 26.

General Garibaldi left Penquite, with his son
Ric2iotti and suite, at about 8.30 yesterday morn-
ing; the party proceeding, in company with their
host (Colonel Peard) and family, in carriages to
Po wey, where they arrived at 9 o'clock. At that
port an address to the General had been prepared,
but owing to its having been rumoured the previous
evening that he might embark in the night, the
address had been sent on board the Uudine, and
through the weather having set in rainy, the read-
ing of the address was dispensed with. The town
was gaily decorated for the reception of the General,
appropriate mottoes amidst flags and evergreens
being displayed across the streets. The church bells
also rang out merry peals, and notwithstanding the
early hour at which he arrived, a large number of
the inhabitants of the town and surrounding neigh-
bourhood lined the streets to see him pass, testify-
'log as the carriages rolled along their high appre-
ciation of his worth by the warmth of their cheers
and cordial greetings. The embarkation took place
at the steps used by her Majesty and Prince Albert
on their embarkation from Fowey in 1846, and
adjoining the handsome granite obelisk erected by
the townspeople in
memory
of that event, Crowds
of persons congregated around the steps. Among
those prewnt were the lord of the manor of the
town, the Rev. E.
J. Treffry, M, jor Davis, Com-
mander Brine, inspecting commander of the
coastguard for that district ; Dr. Davis, Dr. Rowe
Vice-Consul ,
Signor Guarria, lo.e-Consul Lowry, and several
other gentlemen ot the town and neighbourhood. A
large circle of ladies were also present, including Mrs
and the Misses Treff:Y. Along the rathway fi um the
General's carriage to the steps a band of young ladies
strewed flowers before him, and at the steps he shock
hands with several of the ladies and gentlemen
pre•
sent, desiring them to receive his best thanks for
their courtesies towards him. The members of the
London and provincial press present were introduced
by Mr Treffry, and to them the General expressed his
thanks to and esteem for the free press of England.
The General and suite proceeded on beard the Duke
of Sutherland's yacht Undine, lying in the harbour,

in one of the yacht's boats, and Colonel Peard and
a party of gentlemen accompanied him alongside
the yacht in Commander Brine's gig. At parting,
the General desired Colonel Peard to express to his
countrymen how highly he fe!t his reception in
England, and to tell them that the impression made
upon him would never be effaced. To the Coast-
guardmen who manned Captain Brine's gig he
kindly referred, expressing his admiration of the
British navy; and the last adieux of the General
were vivas for England. The Undine got under
weigh at 9.30, and steamed down the harbour, a
salute being fired in honour of the General from the
Fowey battery by a company of the local Volunteer
Artilery. On clearing the harbour, the Undine
set her staysails, and proceeded with a fair wind
heading for Ushant. She is expected to pass
through the Straits of Gibraltar in about six days.

PLYMOUTH, Wednesday Night.

The Undine had bad weather in the Channel, She
rolled violently when off Falmouth, and was obliged
to bear up and run into St. Ala wes in the after-
noon. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood held
a meeting for presenting an address to General
Garibaldi ; but on inquiring on board the yacht the
time which would be convenient for its presentation,
they were told that the General was anxious to
proceed on his voyage, and that the yacht would
leave on Thursday morning at daylight.

GARIBALDI AT PENQUITE.
(From the Western Horning News.)
Soon after 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning the domain
of Penquite became the focus of attraction to persons
anxious to see Garibaldi. They came flocking towards
it from all directions, and in all sorts of vehicles;
and not only the villages immediately contiguous,
but some of the adjoining towns, appeared almost
drained of inhabitants. At St. Anstell,on Monday,
the shops, with barely an exception, were shut, and
high holiday was kept. A similar spirit, though
not to the same extent, prevailed on Tuesday in
that and other towns. The result was that in the
latter part of the afternoon several thousands of
persons must have been congregated at Penquite.
General Garibaldi, being much fatigued by his
journey, did not rise on Tuesday morning until
after eleven o'clock. Great desire was expressed
by numbers of people to obtain admission to the
house and immediately contiguous grounds at even
an earlier hour, but the entrances were strictly
guarded by the police. The General, however,
took the earliest opportunity of satisfying the public
wishes, and drove out shortly before one o'clock in
a landau, accompanied by Colonel and Mrs. Peard,
He proceeded through Tywardreath to Par at an
easy pace, and everywhere received the most en-
thusiastic greetings. Large numbers of people
gathered at all the prominent points on the line of
route, and amongst those at Tywardreath was a
deputation from Helston. By the train reaching Par
at 12,5, there arrived the representatives of the in-
habitants of Plymouth and Devonport, with their
respective addresses for presentation. Numerous
visitors of distinction who had been invited by
Colonel Peard to meet his gallant guest likewise
arrived at intervals during the afternoon. About
half-past two a cheer faintly perceptible in the dis-
tance, but growing in intensity every moment, told
that the General was on his return and near at hand,
and in a few minutes the carriage dashed up, and
Garibaldi alighted amid the stentorian hurrahs of
the large concourse gathered round the door. On
entering the hall he bowed his acknowledgments to
the party there assembled, and having leaned as if
tired for a minute or two agaiust a side table, pro-
ceeded upstairs to prepare himself after his drive
for the reception of the deputations, who meanwhile
assembled in the library. In about a quarter
of an hour the General descended the stair-
case, in doing which the effect of his wound was
made painfully apparent, as he walked, although
assisted by a stick, with considerable lameness,
Entering the library he took up his position at the
head of the room, looking the very impersonation
of manly dignity. He was dressed in his usual grey
cloak, the end of which was flung gracefully over
his shoulder, displaying its red lining. The depu-
tations were singularly fortunate. Few of the public
in England can have seen Garibaldi at such great
advantage, or had such an opportunity of contem-
plating with admiration his grandly massive fea-
tures, with their quiet, steadfast, noble expression,
At his right hand stood Col. Peard—not for the
first time his right hand man—who acted as master
of the ceremonies, introducing each deputation as it
came up to the General in Italian. The members
of the various deputations were presented to the
General, and enjoyed the honour of shaking hands
with him. Some ladies of Plymouth who were
present availed themselves of the same privilege,
Several of the gentlemen held some conversation
with the General, and the Rev. Erskine Risk ad-
dressed him in Italian, expressing the pleasure he
felt at seeing him in England. The General, evi-
dently pleased at hearing his own language, replied
also in Italian—" I cannot express the gratitude I
feel at the reception in England." Mr Risk added
""We hope you will return; " to which the General
answered " I hope that I may visit England again."
One of the ladies present on being introduced
attempted to kiss his hand, when the General drew
. _ _

it back with a most unmistakeable expression of
displeasure, Mr. Woollcombe expressed a hope
that the General did not suffer any ill effects from
the fatiguing journey which he unde:took the pre-
vious day, when he cheerfully replied that he felt
quite recovered. His appearance certainly showed
a marked improvement from that of the previous
night, but there was still au evidence of weariness
about his countenance which was not surprising
after the exertions to which he had been subjected.
At 6 o'cicek a dinner was given to the General and
a large number of guests, when the characteristic
hospitality of Col. Peard and of Cornwall received
another illustration. The- party was joined in the
evening by Garibaidi's son Menotti, who came down
by a late train, and was met by the General on arrival,

The Police and the Primrose-hill Meeting,

DEPUTATION TO SIR GEORGE GREY.
Yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, the joint deputations
from the City and Working Men's Garibaldi Committees
waited upon Sir George-Grey at the Home-office, for the
purpose of bringing under his notice the conduct of the
police in suppressing the Garibaldi public meeting on Prim-
rose-hill on Saturday evening last, and to ascertain upon
what conditions, if any, the public were allowed to hold open
air meetings. Messrs. Beales, T. A. Nicholay, Wainright,
and J. H. Taylor attended from the city, and Messrs. Hart-
well, Hornsby-, Medlard, Applegarth, Snaw, Petherbridge,
and Connolly from the Working Men's Committee.
Mr, BE ALES said the deputations were desirous, in the first
place, to lay before the Home Secretary the unjustifiable
and unconstitutional interference of the police, accompanied
by many acts of personal violence, with an orderly meeting
of the people ; in the second place, to know whether such
interference with the constitutional rights of the people was
or was not sanctioned by the Home Secretary ; and in the
third place to ascertain what guarantee existed that other
peaceable and legally-constituted meetings might not also be
interfered with by the police as caprice might move them.
He then detailed the part he had taken at the meeting as its
chairman, and said he was quite convinced that if he had not
desisted from speaking when ordered to do so by the inspector,
he would have used personal violence. Indeed he said as
much ; for although it might be quite true that the inspector
who came up to him was accompanied only by two con-
stables, there was a large body of police in the background,
ready to act on a signal from the inspector. He thought the
interference wholly unwarrantable, and involving a prin-
ciple dangerous to public liberty. He was prepared to say
that had it not been for the admirable conduct of the com-
mittee and the people the results might have been most
serious, as the conduct of the police was marked by
degree of unnecessary violence calculated to provoke
resistance and create a riot. Ho was not satisfied with the
explanation given in the House of Commons, which had
evidently been made upon false and impertect statements.
He wished for an explicit statement from the Home Se-
cretary by what right the meeting in question was sup-
pressed.

Sir GEORGE GREY said he had but little to add to what
he had stated in Parliament. No orders respecting the
meeting had been given either by himself or Sir H. Mayne ;
but he had no doubt the police had need in pursuance of
their general instructions to prevent all assemblages in the
shape of meetings in the parks as an interference with the
recreation of the people. This order had been issued con-
sequent upon the disturbances in Hyde-park some two
years back. Ho was not there to argue the question of the
right of the people to meet in the parks ; if the deputation
disputed the right of the authorities to enforce the prohi-
bition in question, they well knew how the question might
be brought to an issue. Primrose-hill was considered one
of the parks, and no meeting could be held on it without
the consent of Mr. Cowper, the Commissioner of Woods

and Forests, under whose control the parks were placed.
That permission had been given for the Shakspere Cele-
bration, and under all the circumstances, as there had been
already one large meeting, he frankly confessed he regretted
the police had not allowed the meeting in question to pro-
ceed, which he had no doubt, from what he had heard,
would have passed off in the most peaceable way. He had
been told there was no violence either on the part of the
police or the people, and this was the first time he. had
heard of any violence on the part of the police. If any per-
sons present had been assaulted by the police they could
summon them before a magistrate for the offence.
Mr. BEALES —Then, supposing the committee call another
meeting at the same place on Saturday next, would it also
be stopped by the police on the ground of Primrose-hill
being a park ?

Sir G. GREY—The police, under the instructions I have
alluded to, would have the power of stopping the meeting,
unless the consent of Mr Cowper to hold the meeting had
previously been obtained.

Mr BEALES—Then those orders, the legality of which I
dispute, virtually prohibit all open-air meetings of the people
unless sanctioned by the Government, which is, I contend,
a most dangerous principle, and one subversive of the con-
stitutional right of Englishmen. To hold a meeting in the
open air the people of London must go into the country—to
Blackheath, or Hampstead-heath, and even there only by
the sufferance of the police.

Sir G. GREY-I cannot argue the question of right.
It must be settled by an action at law.
Messrs. Nicholay, Taylor, Applegarth, and Medlard
having confirmed the statement of the chairman as to the
violence of the police,
Mr HARTWELL said that at the very time the police in-
terfered with the Garibaldi meeting there were temperance
preachers, " Cheap Jacks," " Aunt Sallys," and gambling
all over the hill, all surrounded by several hundred people.
They were left unnoticed by the police, who said they in-
terfered with the Garibaldi meeting held on the crest of
the hill because it interrupted the highway, whereas if any
such interruption could have possibly taken place on the
hill, it must have arisen from the other assemblages he had
alluded to. Under the present police law, which he hoped
was not to be taken as legal, any public meeting in the
open air could be suppressed at the caprice of a petty officer
of police.

Mr Slaw, as one of the persons violently attacked and
assaulted by the police, the numbers of whom he knew, said
he should act on the suggestion of the hon. baronet and
take out a summons.

Sir GEORGE GREY could only repeat his regret that the
meeting had not been allowed to proceed. He had full con-
fidence in the love of order among the working classes.

The deputation then retired.

Working Men's Garibaldi Committee,

A general meeting of this committee was held last night,
at the Whittington Club, to receive the report of the depu-
tation appointed to wait upon Sir George Grey in relation
to the suppression of the meeting on Saturday last on
Primrose.hill. There was a very full attendance. Mr.
Nieass (plasterer) occupied the chair.
The Secretary reported the result of the interview of the
deputation with Sir G. Grey, who had made nearly the
same statement to them as he had made in the House of
Commons. Neither he nor Sir R. Mayne had given any
special instructions to the police regarding the meeting,
which had been suppressed by that body under their ge-
neral orders relating to meetings in the Park, Sir G. Grey
had declined to discuss the legality of those orders with the
deputation, who, if they wished, must take an opportunity
of deciding the point by a legal action. He thought this
explanation of Sir George Grey only made matters worse.
It would be bad enough to have their meetings suppreseed
by the Home Secretary or the Police Commissioner; but,
at any rate, there was a certain amount of responsibility
attached to those gentlemen, It now appeared that the
liberty of public meetings in the open air, so much
prized by Englishmen, depended simply upon the caprice
of some petty police officer. (Hear.) He hoped Sir George
Grey's suggestion would be acted upon, and the legality of
Sir R. Mayne's ukase tested.

Considerable discussion followed, the prevailing opinion
being that another meeting should be held upon Primrose-
hill on Saturday week, when, if the police again interfered,
sufficient resistance should be made by the chairman or some
members of the committee to warrant the police taking
them into custody, in order that the question might come
fairly before a court of law as to whether the orders of Sir
Re Mayne were justified by an Act of Parliament. With
this understanding the following resolutfon was agreed to
unanimously, on the motion of Mr, Howell, bricklayer,
seconded by Mr. Osborne, plasterer :—" That this commit-
tee is of opinion that the adjourned Garibaldi meeting
should be held at an early date, and that at such meeting
the legality of the interference of the police with orderly
open-air public meetings in the parks or elsewhere be tested;
that a sub-committee of 12 be appointed to confer with flo
city sub-committee, with full power to convene such meet-
ing, which shall be held, no positive Act of Parliament
existing to the contrary, on Primrose-hill, on Saturday
evening week, at 6 o'caock.

The sub-committee having been appointed, the committee
adjourned. SubFxriptions in aid of the expenses to be in-
curred in testiltg Sir R.Mayne's order,and protesting against
police interference with the liberty of public meeting, are
invited to be sent in to the treasurers of the Garibaldi Re-
ception Committee.

theatrical counseller to the committee, and it is by
following his advice that some of the most serious
obstacles have been surmounted. This fact was well
known to the chief of last night's audience. More-
ever, the excellent comedian did not wholly rely on
his reputation as a Shaksperean philanthropist.
He played Sir Andrew Aguecheek with fun even
more than usually exuberant, making a compound
of sot, zany, and poltroon that caused the wooden
walls of the Pavilion to reverberate with laughter.
Mr. Compton, who played the Clown with admira-
ble quaintness, was another leading favourite, being
known here not only through his London celebrity
but through a high reputation at Birmingham.
Malvolio was played with thoroughly sustained for-
mality by Mr. Chippendale, and was apparently a
more thankful part than it is usually found in Lon-
don, the practical joke of the " cross garters" being
immensely relished by the audience. Mr. Rogers as
the bluff besotted Sir Toby, and Mr. W. Farren as
the mischief-loving Fabian, were likewise excellent,
and nothing could go off with greater spirit than
the more broadly comic scene of the play—the duel
between Sir Andrew and Viola awakening a special
shout of mirth. Miss Louisa Angel, who played
Viola, was an object of general admiration, both on
account of her personal appearance and her sensible
inobtrusive style of acting ; and the celebrated lines,
" She never told her love, ku.," which had been sung
with Haydn's music the evening before, was duly
marked out by applause. Mr. Howe performed the
Duke with his wonted urbane dignity, and in the
uew building had an opportunity of proving the ex-
cellent quality of his voice. It is not too much to
say that his words, though uttered without effort,
were more distinct to the ear than those of any
other performer.

The character of Captain Howard Leslie,sustained
by Mr. Sothern in the afterpiece, is the first that he
essayed in London after establishing himself as
Lord Dundreary. It seems to exhibit him as an
excellent light comedian, and his coolness at the
beginning and his mock rhodomantade at the
end greatly delighted the Stratford audience.
This evening, to-morrow, and Friday he will play
Lord Dundreary at Birmingham, and will then re•
turn to London to appear at the Haymarket on
Saturday in a new piece entitled "David Garrick."
' Miss Nelly Moore, known in London as a rising
young actress, distinguished herself greatly by the
spirit with which she played the self-willed and not
very scrupulous Mrs. Arundel.
This afternoon there was a dramatic recital in the
regular Stratford Theatre by Mrs. Macready, a lady
from the United States, who a few years back made
a favourable impression as a reader without book,
who by freedom of action and variation of voice
gives an almost histrionic representation of the plays
she recites. The audience, who nearly filled the little
theatre, now called the Shakspere Rooms, seemed
well gratified by the entertainment. The house it-
self, which stands on the site of the garden of New-
place, and of which such high expectations were
raised in 1827, is of itself worth a visit. It is very
small and low pitched, with two tiers of boxes—one
on the level of the pit, the other, though raised to
no great -31evation, nearly reaching the ceiling.
Here were performed the plays that constituted a
portion of the enterteinments of the Festival of 1830,
when Mr. Charles 7; can was the principal actor, and
was genere::iy_ looked upon as a rising young man.
At pry
esent it is in anything but working condition,
as is amply proved by its deficiency in one detail,
generally considered necessary to theatrical repre-
sentation—viz., the stage.

With the two concerts on Monday, and with the
excursion to Charlecote, and the plays of yesterday,
I have been so occupied as to neglect the collec-
tion of works of art associated with Shakspere
which is exhibited all the week at the Town•hall,
and which when the value of many of the works
is known, will doubtless prove as attractive as
anything connected with the Festival. The corn
poration itself possesses an invaluable treasure in
the full-length 'portrait of Garrick embracing a
bust of Shakspere, painted by Gainsborough.
Then there is a large assortment of Shaksperean
portraits of various degrees of authenticity, among
them the so-called " Jansen" (with two others, not
at all like it, attributed to the same artist), the
"Lumley," the " Stratford," the " Droeshart," a
lithograph of the "Felton,' and a drawing of the
" Chandos." To these may be added a copy of the
"Kesselstadt cast," wilich is now in the custody of
Professor Owen, and which is believed by some to
be the mask taken from the poet's face after death
for the sculptor cf his bust. The discussion as to
the authorities in favour of these different portraits
forms a branch of erudition in itself ; but those who
would skim pleasantly through the subject I may
safer to a small handsomely illustrated book on the
" Life Portraits of Shakspere," written by Mr. J.
H. Friswell, who, however, does not touch the
"Lumley." The " Stratford" and the copy of the
"Felton" now exhibited at the Town-hall, both
belong to the Shakspere Museum, to which they
were given by Mr. W. Oakley Hunt, the present
town cerk, who is highly respected as one of the
best Shaksperian antiquaries in this little Shak-
sperian world. "Of the "Kesselstadt cast" an ex-
cellent photograph has been taken by Mr. Nottage,
1 of the London Stereoscopic Society.
The picture owners have been very liberal in their
contributions to this exhibition. Her Majesty has
sent Sir T. Lawrence's well-known portrait of J. P.
Kemble as Hamlet, to which Sir Joshua's Mrs. Sid-
dons as the Tragic Muse is a worthy pendant. Har-
lowe's great picture of the Kemble family engaged
in the trial of Queen Katherine is likewise here,
with three admirable works by Zoffany, lent by
Lord Carlisle—viz,, the portraits of Foote as Major
Sturgeon, and of Garrick as Abel Drugger, and a
curious painting of three actors, supposed to
represent characters in Sir John Vanbrugh's
comedy, " tlisop." Among the likenesses of
living artists is an admirable drawing of
Miss Helen Patna by Burton, lent by Mr.
Theodore Martin. The pictures are nearly 300 in
number, comprising a quantity of ideal works in
addition to those of historical interest. Mr. Court-
ney, a carver of the town, has contributed to the
exhibition a "tercentenary table," a marvellous
piece of workmanship, in which six views, illustra-
ting Shakspere's life, are inlaid in curiously coloured
woods. Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, too, have struck
a bronze medal, with a head of Shakspere surrounded
by the names of his plays on the obverse side, and
the apotheosis on the reverse. The testimonial pre-
sented to Mr. Charles Kean after his retirement
from the Princess's stands in a conspicuous part of
one of the rooms, as well as Vechte's shield in
honour of Shakspere, Milton, and Newton, shown
at the International Exhibition of 1862.

[ADvuitmEmENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
It is admitted by every ono who has personally tried these
noble remedies for any eruptions, sores, ulcers, &c., or who
have witnessed their purifying and healing effects on
others suffering from such maladies that nothing more can
be desired than these medicaments possess. The Ointment
relaxes the swollen muscles, diminishes both redness and
inflammation, assuages pain, and alleviates oven danger,
which may have lasted for months, or even years. Hollo-
way's excellent preparations are stated to be effective singly
—resistless in combination, and have been recommended
by grateful patients to be sought as the alternatives when
all other means of regaining health have failed, Their
action is temperate—not violent or reducing,
