Garibaldi's Health,

"Mark, how plain a tale shall put them down."
Those who wished to get prematurely rid of Gari-
baldi, under the pretext of his being in a state of
ill health, will require no ordinary amount of logi-
cal ability to dispose of, on their theory, the follow-
ing fact:—" Oa Saturday evening," writes a dis-
tinguished gentleman, who was present and
witnessed what he states, " the General was engaged
for an hour or so in rowing the two Duchesses (the
Duchess and Dowager Duchess of Sutherland), and
Lady Grosvenor, with another friend, on the beau-
tiful water at Cliefden." To row a boat full of per-
sons for upwards of an hour is not precisely what
might be expected from such an invalid as Garibaldi
has been, for political purposes, represented to be.
" What," asks our Correspondent, "will the doctors
say to this ? "—Advertiser.

Powerscourt and Lady Julia Cok', eldest daughter of the
Earl and Countess of Leicester, was solemnised yesterday
at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. The church was
crowded to excess on the occasion by the numerous relatives
and friends of both noble families. The noble bridegroom,
in company with Captain Richard Bateson, arrived at the
church shortly after half. past eleven o'clock, and was soon
joined by the bride, who was accompanied by her mother,
the Countess of Leicester. The wedding party then arranged
themselves in front of the communion table—the bride being
attended to the altar by ten bridesmaids, namely, her six
sisters—the Ladies Anne, Gertrude, Mary, Winifred, Mar-
garet, and Mildred Coke; the Hon. Alice Jocelyn, daughter
of Viscountess Jocelyn ; Lady Mary Gordon, daughter of
the Marchioness of Huntly ; Miss Mary Stephenson,
daughter of Lady Mary Stephenson; and Miss Stewart,
Captain R. Bateson (Ist Life Guards) attended as "groom's
man." The Rev. Robert Collyer, honorary canon of
Norwich Cathedral and rector of Warham, performed the
religious rite. The bride was given away by her father,
the Earl of Leicester.

lifeboats, and 357 by lines and ropes.
THE LATE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH NURSING
THE FARMER'S CHILD.—Some years ago the late
Bishop of Peterborough had occasion to visit a remote
country village in his diocese, and notice had been sent to
one of the churchwardens (an intelligent but unpretending
farmer) that his lordship would call upon him in the course
of a certain morning. It was cold weather, anc, after an
early breakfast, the farmer's wife had gone upstairs for a
short time, leaving her baby, of about three months' old,
asleep, and still in his nocturnal habiliments, in a cradle
by the parlour fire. When upstairs the good mother heard
a knock at, the house door, but, never dreaming that the
bishop would call before nine o'clock, she took no notice of
it. Presently, however, she descended to look after her
infant son, and to her extreme astonishment, and indeed
horror, fouad him in the arms of the worthy prelate, who
was alone in the parlour with him, hushing, coaxing, and
kissing the now unmistakeably wide awake child. The
good bishop, altnough then wanting not many years of
threescore and ten, had walked over at that early hour• froa
a town three miles distant; and, having probably roused
the infant from its slumbers by his knock and entrance into
the room, had taken it out of the cradle, and was good na-
taredly acting the part of nurse until the a rrival of the
mother. Such a man naturally won the hearts of all.

FARMERS IN MUSLIN I—Can our residers picture
to taemsetves tan agricultural exhibiti on, at which
tho farmers are attired mainly in white muslin, with tur-
bans instead of hats, and slippers instead of hoots—the said
tanners, moreover, having black or brown f ices, decorated
perhaps witn paint, and generally set off by 'tarrings of gold
and precious stones, not to mention other rings wherever it
is possible to place them—on the arms and the fingers, the
ankles and toes ? Such an anomaly may have been sug-
gested at Hanwell, but it is only lately that it has found
existence in real life; and, even now, it may not be seen in
this country. To behold it one must have been at Calcutta
a few weeks ago, when a proceeding was enacted which had
hitherto been unparalleled in India. For the idea of this
novel experiment the local public are indebted, it appears, to
the excellent Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, the Hon. C.
Beadon. It oticurred to him, we are told, in the early part
of last year, That' an Agricultural Exhibition, somewhat on
the model of these held in England, would be of material
benefit to the countly, by improving the breed of cattle, in-
troducing a better ck'ss of agricultural implements, and
stimulating the tillers e. f the soil to greater care concerning
the quality of the products brought to market. To carry
out these objects the most 'effectual measures were taken-
Locala committees were appoitted in every part of India,
and announcements of the nature of the scheme were cir-
culated in all the local languages, The Bengal Govern-
ment advanced a sufficient sum of n.'oneY
for prizes, which
were on a very liberal scale, and for 'ic
L general
the Exhibition :so there was no on. expenses of
iasicn to solicit sub-
scriptions. But contributions of object's to be exhibited
were demanded from all sides, and the resi.'onse was satis-
factory in the highest degree. By the end of the year, the
collections were nearly completed. These, ex,meisting of
live stock, machinery, and produce, were ah' properly
classified, and placed in temporary buildings erect ed on a
large piece of ground assigned for the purpose. Atidt
on
the 15th of January, the Exhibition was formally opened by
Sir John Lawrence, who arrived out just in time for the
ceremony.—Dickens's., All the Year Round."
