Garibaldi's Departure from England.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.

Sir,—l notice in your impression of to-day that
at a general meeting of the Working Men's Gari-
baldi Committee it was reported that Mr. Glad-
stone had, in their opinion, exonerated himself
from any participation in inducing General Gari-
baldi to leave England, but from what they had
been enabled to glean, and from their own personal
observations, they entertained the firm belief that
Signor Negretti was the pritue mover in the in-
trigue which caused the General's premature de-
parture, and that he acted in the interest of the
Italian Government.

Insinuations of this character having been made
b Mr. Negretti before the General's departure, he
informed him of such being the fact, and in reply
received a letter, a copy of which, together with
its translation, I now forward, trusting it will
satisfy those gentlemen mho have made these
accusations, and prevent further remarks of the
same character.

I may mention that my partner being abroad
with his family prevents him from personally com-
municating with you ; but as I know the charges
to be most unjust, andlaving the means at hand to
refute them in General Garibaldi's own letter, I
think it best to do so at once, and not allow the
matter to remain uncontradicted for at least two
weeks, which must necessarily elapse before I can
communicate with Mr. Negretti and receive a reply.
I trust you will insert this communication, and
oblige yours, &c., J. 'W. ZAMBRA.

My dear Negretti,—Knowing that you are ac-
cused of having induced me to leave England, you
cin assure the public that I do not depart insti-
gated by you, but because I must leave this noble
country until a favourable opportunity allows me to
return to it to fulfil a duty so delightful to my
heart by visiting that generous people who were
kind enough to invite me.
With gratitude your 3,

G. GAP.IBALDI.

[So that, from his own letter, it is perfectly ma-
nifest that General Garibaldi's state of health had
nothing whatever to do with the fact of his hurried.

The "Spectator's" Tribute to Dr, Newman,

Referring briefly to the extraordinary serial now
publishing weekly at the Messrs. Longman's (en-
titled Apologia pro Vita Sua ; being a reply to a
pamphlet entitled " What, then, Does Dr. Newman
Mean ?" by John Henry Newman, D.D. Parts 1.,
11., 111., IV.), the Spectator of to-day says :—" We
shall be obliged to review this remarkable book on
its completion, and need only say now that it bids
fair to give us an interior view of one of the greatest
minds and greatest natures ever completely sub-
jected to the influence of reactionary thought. We
anticipate that even Mr. Kingsley will feel when it
is completed that he has grievously wronged a man
utterly unintelligible to him, but as incapable of
falsehood or of the advocacy of falsehood as the
sincerest Protestant.

THE CONFERENCE,

4--

For the information of the Prussian people,
Count von Bismarck has published the following
as the exact terms of the resolution come to by the
Conference sitting at London
(Translation.)

"There will be a suspension of hostilities by sea
and land for the space of a month from the 12th of
May.
"On the same day Denmark will raise the
blockade.

"Prussia and Austria bind themselves, during
suspension of hostilities, not to hinder commerce,
communications, or the regular course of adminis-
tration in the portions of Jutland occupied by their
armies; not to levy war contributions, but, on the
contrary, to pay for whatever may be furnished to
the German troope, who will simply continue to
occupy their present strategical positions.
"The belligerent parties agree to preserve their
respective military positions by sea and land, and
interdict each other from reinforcing those positions
pending the duration of the cessation of hostilities.

" Odeial notification hereof will be made by
their respective Governments to the commanders of
the belligerent forces by sea and land."

GAFFER HEX M'S HOME.--'The low building bad
the look of having once been a mill. There was a rotten
wart of wood upon its forehead that seemed to indicate
where the sails had been, but the whole was very indis-
tinctly seen in the obscurity of the night. Th 3 boy lifted
the latch of the door, and they passed at once into a low
circular room, where a man stood bafore a red fire, looking
down into it, and a girl sat engaged in needlework. The
fire was in a rusty brazier, not fitted to the hearth ; and a
common lamp, shaped like a hyacinth root, smoked end
flared in the neck of a stone bottle on Übe table. There
was a wooden bunk or berth in a corner, and in another
corner a wooden stair leading above—so clumsy and
steep that it was little better than a ladder. Two or three
old sculls and oars stood against the wall, and against an-
other part of the wall was a small dresser, making a spare
show of the commonest articles of crockery and cooking-
vessels. The roof of the roum was not plastered, but was
formed of the flooring of the room above. This, being
very old, knotted, seamed, and beamed, gave a lowering
aspect to the chamber; and roof, and walls, and floor, alike
abounding in old smears of flour, red-lead (or some such
stain which it had probably acquired in warehousing), and
damp, alike had a look of decompositions—Charles Dickens's
" Our ilitiel44 Friold."
