VALETTA, May 2.

Her Majesty's screw storeship Fox, 2, Staff Commander
T. C. Pullen, returned hero on April 23, from collecting
Ordnance stores from the principal lonian Islands for Malta
and England. She left this island on April 6, and arrived
at Zante on the Bth, leaving on the 12th, and reaching
Argostoli (Cephalonia) on the same day. While at Zante
the weather was exceedingly severe, none like it having
been experienced within the memory of the " oldest inhabi-
tant." Heavy rains, strong wind, snow and hail storms pre-
vailed. On the 10th so much snow fell on deck that the offi-
cers amused themselves by making a snowball, weighing
641 b. She embarked at Zante Lieut. Brown and a party of
Royal Artillery for Corfu, After taking on board a large
quantity of War-office stores she :eft on the 15th for Bathi
(Ithaca). The troops were anxiously waiting to get away,
and the Greeks apparently
as desirous of being rid of them.
Great fears were entertained for the current crops, on ac-
count of the cold. n
-nly a few stores were embarked at
Ithaca, as there is merely a company of soldiers there.
Count de Rome, late President of the Council at Corfu, is
resident at Ithaca. The Fox arrived at Santa Maura on the
17th, and embarked all the remaining stores at that island.
The Greeks there also appeared anxious for the departure of
the English troops, when it is generally supposed plunder
and assassination will commence. A number of fine athletic
Albanians came on board at Ithaca to look at the ship, and
told some of the crew, in confidence, that their country-
men from the opposite coast would commence their ope-
rations as soon as the English left. They fully anti-
cipate a scene of plunder and anarchy throughout the
islands on the departure of our troops, as the Greek Go-
vernment has no troops to replace them, and mutiny is
spreading among those it possesses. It is on this account
that the removal of our troops has been delayed until some
measures can be taken—what it is difficult to say—for the
protection of the peaceable inhabitants. The embarcation
of the English troops will commence in the first week in
June.
The demolition of the fortifications at Corfu may now be
said to be completed, one bastion alone at Vido remaining,
and this was to have been blown up on the 21st or 22d ult.
Some gun-cotton was tried upon the walls of the Martello
tower for purposes of experiment, but it did net succeed so
well as gunpowder. A small portion of wall of this tower
is still standing. The roofs of the barracks at Vido were
England. She left at Corfu the
considerably injured by the falling stones from some of the
Randolph, and the steam tender
explosions. They have been repaired, and are now inhabited
as usual. The Fox brought to Malta a soldier belonging

Her Majesty's screw troopships Tamar, Orontes, and

storeship Supply, to proceed to Corfu for the embarcation
of troops and the remaining stores there. It is said that
the Admiralty have ordered the immediate construction of
several transport ships of the Himalaya class.
• The Dromedary, 2, Master-Commander A. Brown, left
I Malta on the 27th ult. for Gibraltar, with supernumeraries
and stores for the Racoon, 22, Captain Count Gleichen, and
I will return to Malta and. Corfu to embark ordnance stores

The Royal Oak. 35, screw ironclad, Capt. F. A. Campbell,
left port for a cruise and target practice on the 25th ult., and
re. entered the Grand Harbour on the 27th.

The surveying vessel Firefly, 5, Lieut.-Commander G. R.
Wilkinson, arrived here on the 25th with the intelligence of
the insurrection of the Arabs in the Regency of Tunis,
owing to the increase of the capitation-tax. Immediately
afterwards the Meance, 60, Captain G. Wodehouse, which
was cruising outside, was despatched to Tunis, and the Ma-
gicienne, 16, Captain W. Armytage, acid the Pelican, 17,
goaanclu IL W. coJalnr, f9ll9wcd in tIQ nu%) aircctio,

for the protection of the Christian populations of the towns
on the coast. The Firefly will return tc Tunis on the pre-
sent boisterous weather moderating.
A. Turkish vessel has brought letters from Sousa to the
23th ult. Her Majesty'S ship Magicienne arrived there on
the 26th, when the usual salutes were exchanged. The
inhabitants of the neighbouring villages thinking it was a
commencement of hostilities between the town and the
Arabs armed themselves, and came to the environs, intend-
ing to take the part of the insurgents. A groat deal of the
alarm had subsided, as the capitation-tax had been removed
by the Bey's orders. The Magicienne had visited Monastir,
where all was reported quiet, and intended going to Sfakas.
The Liffey, 35, Captain G. Parker, is now in port, under-
going a thorough refit.

The Wanderer, 4, Commander M. C. Seymour, on the
Greek station, has relieved the Trident, 3, Commander C.
J. Balfour, at. Patras, which has been ordered to Malta. A
telegram received to-day from Corfu. announces the arrival
of the latter vessel there, but, having a case of smallpox on
board, she had been detained in quarantine.

The Egyptian screw frigate Mohammed Ali, 20, Captain
Cassim Bey, which arrived some time ago from Alexandria,
was admitted into the dry dock on the 24th ult., for the
purpose of being cleaned and thoroughly refitted. She will
then return to Alexandria, to convey the mother of the
Viceroy to Constantinople on a visit to the Sultan.
The Sultan's steam yacht Fegi-Gihaad is expected here
soon from Constantinople to be docked.
Several changes have been effected lately in the dockyard
here, and others are expected to occur. Mr H. Ines, chief
clerk and dockyard secretary, has been appointed store re-
ceiver at Devonport, after a long and meritorious Gervice of
upwards of 20 years. Mr T. P. Rickard has been tempo-
rarily appointed to the vacant post. Mr W, B. Robinson,
master shipwright, has been promoted to be one of the con-
structors of the navy, and will leave shortly for his post at
Whitehall. Mr B. W. Pidco3k, naval store keeper, will
probably leave soon fora post in England. Mr W. C, P.
Grant, R.N., secretary to Rear Admiral Austin, C. 8., his
resigned, and has been succeeded by Mr J. E. C. Sullivan,
R.N., assistant paymaster, as secretary.
Her Majesty's screw gunboat Foxhound, 4, Commander
W. Andersen, went out early this morning in search of the
English screw steamer Corcyra, which had been met with
on the 29th ult. off Cape Bon, putting back to Malta under
sail, having broken her shaft. The Corcyra has just been
signalled, and all fears for her safety are therefore, dis-
pelled.

At the moment of the mail closing the following extract
of a letter from Tunis of the 27th ult. was placed in my

" The origin of the insurrection was the increase of the
capitation-tax from 36 to 72 piastres. The Bedouins re-
fused to pay the tax, upon which the Government sent
some of its chief officers to try to induce them to pay,as the
Bey had discharged most of his troops some time before, and
had no troops to enforce it. These officers were obliged to
take to flight, and one of them, General Siferhat, and two
of his aides-de-camp were killed. The Bedouins de-
manded of the Bey the reduction of the tax to its original
amount, the abolition of the Constitution (!) and the courts
of justice, and that he should maintain the administration
of public affairs and justice entirely in his own hands. The
Bey, advised by some foreign authorities, abolished the
Constitution on the 21st, and the day after he took his seat
on the throne for the administration of justice, as was the
custom before the formation of the Constitution. In the
afternoon couriers were despatched throughout the Regency
proclaiming this new state of things, which had the effect in
those provinces whence news has been received of inducing
the insurgents to return to their allegiance. On the same
day that the Bey consented to the wishes of the Bedouins
the French Consul called together in the Consulate all the
French subjects and warned them to arm themselves in their
houses that night, and said that he would give protection in
the Consulate to those who desired it. It seems that he
entertained fears that a number of European bad characters
had entered into a league to join the Bedouins in sacking
the town. He also took the precaution of arming 200 Al-
gerines of the place to protect the Consulate, over which he
hoisted the French flag. The Bay also doubled all the
guards. Everything passed off quietly, and some people
believe there was no occasion for all this alarm. The
Italian Consul arrested several suspicious characters, natives
of Sicily. The opinion in Tunis is that the English Consul
is opposed to the abolition of the Constitutional system. An
Italian and a French frigate and two English men-of-war
are in the Bay. In town all alarm has subsided, and the
road from Sousa is new safe."

The Adjourned Garibaldi Meeting on

Primrose-Hill,

Oa Saturday evening, in accordance with public
placards extensively posted throughout the metro-
polis, the working men of London were invited to
assemble on Priwrose.hill, for the purpose, in the
first place, of protesting against the alleged illegal
and unconstitutional conduct of the police in pro.
hibiting and dispersing the meeting appointed to
be held for the purpose of considering the sudden
and mysterious departure of General Garibaldi from
this country on Saturday, the 23d ult., and also of
maintaining the right of the people to assemble and
discuss the subject of General Garibaldi's depar.
tare, as they had intended to do on the occasion
referred to. The hour appointed for holding the
meeting was six p.m., and at that time the com-
mittee, who had assembled at the Queen's Arms
Hotel, in the Chalk Farm-road, proceeded in a
body to the summit of the hill, preceded by the
Italian flag. On reaching the top of the hill a
circle was made round one of the seats, and Mr.
Edmond Brales was unanimously elected to preside.
There were from 1,000 to 1,500 persons present.
The CHAIRMAN, who spoke from the seat on
which he stood, opened the proceedings as fol-
lows :—My friends, I thank you for this cordial
and hearty reception. It shows me that you feel
equally with myself that we are met here to. day
to discharge one of the most grave and important
duties of Englishmen—namely, to support, to in-
sist upon, to vindicate the law. In the language of
an old statute, " The laws of Eng:and are the birth-
right of the people thereof," and I trust that you
will, as warmly and as resolutely as your fore-
fathers, prize that birth-right, so far far as it
is valuable—fur I mean not by any means
that all our laws are of equal value—that you will
warmly and resolutely insist upon that birthright,
so far as it is valuable, being preserved intact, and
not suffer it to be either openly infringed, or indi-
rectly and insidiously filched away from you, or
sneered away by those whose symi.athfes are ever
in opposition to real popular rights. One of the most
ancient and valuable items in this birthright, one of
the most precious of our English rights or customs,
which by long usage obtain the force of laws, is this
right or power wh:ch we are now exercising, of
meeting together, eitaer in the open air or other-
wise, for the purpose of discussing and deliberating
upon any political or social grievance, any political
or social matter or measure of public interest. But
your exercise of this great and valuable constitutional
right was most wantonly and most unjustifiably in-
terfered with on this spot a fortnight since. A
perfectly orderly and quiet meeting was, without
any sufficient cause or reason whatever, interrupted
and broken up by a party of police, acting under
what are called certain general instructions, and
evidently prepared, in their utter ignorance of the
law, to have had recourse to the most vio-
lent measures, if any resistance had been offered to
their unwarrantable proceedings. I heartily re•
joice that no resistance was offered; that you—the
people—were, on that occasion, the real guardians,
observers, and protectors of the law, as it becomes a
free, enlightened, and Christian people ever to be ;
that the only violators of the law were those who,
if they had known or been properly instructed in
their duty, were the most bound to obey and pro-
tect the law. I also rejoice that no one either in an
official position or otherwise, so far as I know, has
attempted to justify the conduct of the police oe
that occasion. On the contrary, the Home Secre-
tary (Sir G. Grey), in my presence, and in the pre-
sence of Sir Richard Mayne (the chief of the police),
expressed his regret at what had occurred, and at the
meeting not having been allowed to proceed, and ac-
tually suggested that any of the police who could
be identified as having committed an assault should
be summoned before a magistrate for the offence.
With regard to the original object of our meeting a
fortnight since, the unexpected departure of General
Garibaldi, I shall detain you but briefly, and leave
to other gentlemen to address you more fully upon
that matter. But here also I must congratulate the
people. The reception in this metropolis of that
illustrious patriot, that true king of rnen,is admitted
to have been magnificent, to form an historical event,
and that way all yours, the people'fi work i his

PRICE ......

departure, to say the least of it, wea a most unseemly
termination to so majestic a welcome, a very
wretched piece of mystery and secret diplomacy,
wholly unworthy of the character and dignity of
the country ; but with that you, the people, had
nothing to do. Yours was all the honour of the
magnificent welcome, yours none of the degradation
of the premature and forced departure. That his
departure was rendered necessary by his health
being injuriously affected by the pleasurable exeite•
ment of his welcome, it is impossible, after his own
letters, to believe in any other sense than that of it
having originated in the imagination of over officious
and over zealous friends. Garibaldi himself is the
very soul of truth, and if his departure, evidently
most distasteful and unwelcome to himself, had been
the result of his feeling his health injuriously
affected, he would most unquestionably have so stated
in his letters, expressive, as they are, of regret at
his premature, and, in his own language, obligatory
departure. There is something highly grotesque
and ludicrous in making such a man ill against his
own will. But here I leave the subject to others,
contenting myself with expressing the fervent wish
and hope that the visit to these shores of this heroic
champion and representative of universal freedom
—of the liberty of not only his own beloved and
glorious Italy, but of all other oppressed nationali-
ties, of Poland, of Hungary—will enlist you in the
earnest support of the same principles which you ad-
mire and honour in nim, andsave you being led away
by the unhappy and suicidal doctrines which try to
make you believe that England can with any safety
to herself stand by in selfish and listless inert-
ness, a mere passive spectator, whilst the free
peoples of the Continent are being, one after an-
other, crushed by that combination of despotism
which will be only too glad to crush you us its
last victim. Garibaldi is the personification of the
alliance of the peonies against the alliance of des-
pots. Support him, then, to the utmost in his yet
holy mission for the succour of the efilicted, the
deliverance of the oppressed, the overthrow of the
tyrants, the oppressors, the destroyers of the earth.
And now I have only to request you to give the
same kindly and patient attention to other speakers
which Sox have given to me, so that this great
meeting may, by its order, its regularity, and in all
other respects, be worthy of the cause, worthy of
the illustrious lalion whose departure we regret,
worthy of the people, worthy of the democracy of
England, which ho loves and honours, and which, I
trust, may yet be found labouring unitedly and
wisely, both at home and abroad, for the welfare of
mankind and the establishment of the real peace
and freedom of Europe.
Mr. NICLIOLAY, amidst loud applause, proposed
the first resolution—" That this meeting declares
the conduct of the police in interfering with a peace-
able and orderly meeting, similar to the present, on
the 23d of April last, to have been wholly unjusti-
fiable, illegal, and unconstitutional, and deserving
the serious attention of all members of Parliament
interested in the preservation and protection of
popular rights."
Mr. DAVIS, in seconding the resolution, said the
right of public society preceded all government. I t
could not be tolerated in this free country that
government be allowed in the slightest degree to
control the privilege of public meeting. To prevent
the people meeting in the parks was virtually to
prohibit all open air meetings, as nearly every space
of ground formerly open to the people was now con-
verted into a park. The people were supposed to
possess the liberty of free speech, but that was of
little use if they were not allowed to meet.
Mr. 'WASHINGTON WILKS supported the resolu-
tion. Although the police had violated the law in
suppressing the meeting on last Saturday week,
they must not throw all the blame upon them. The
Government were far more to blame. It had been
said they met there that day by permission. If
so the question still remained open, and they
must hold another meeting without permission, to
try the right. (Cheers.) He was glad they met
there that day under the folds of the tri-coloured
flag, which had been called the emblem of revolt;
and it was so, but of revolt against tyranny and
despotism, The Crown had its rights, and while
those rights were exercised as they were in this
country they would a,l4petys exist. The aristocracy
had their rights, butlle.t those rights be not abused,
or they would lose them altogether, The Cora•
mons had their rights, and let them take care, or
those rights would be filched from them. Oae of
the dearest cf these rights was the right of public
meeting, and that right they meant to maintain at
all hazards, despite of Sir George Grey, Sir Richard
Mayne, or Mr. Cowper. (Cheers)
The resolution was then put and carried amidst
loud cheering.
Mr. W. SIIAEN then moved the second resolution
as follows:—" That the passage in one of the letters
of Genersl Garibaldi, in which he says, 'I feel
obliged to leave England,' together with the evi-
dence of many old and tried friends of the General
who were in personal communication with him up
to a late period before he left this country, induces
this meeting to discredit the excuse of ill-health put
forward as the cause of his departure, and to reluc-
tantly entertain the conviction that the abrupt
termination of his visit was brought about by undue
pressure upon him, for political purposes, and in the
interest of the enemies of freedom, and to repudiate
such conduct as a breach of the national hospitality
and an insult to the people." He would give a
brief summary of the circumstances attending the
departure of Garibaldi as his justification for mov-
ing the resolution he had just read. Up to Sunday
the 17th of April, there was no idea on the part of
the General of abandoning his provincial tour, and
on that day Mr. P. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. Stans-
feld, M.P., were to meet Mr. Seely, M.P., by
appointment to arrange the programme and select
an English secretary to accompany the General.
In the meantime Lord Shaftesbury and Mr.
A. Kinnaird, M.P., called upon Mr. Seely,
and after a consultation it was resolved by
these gentlemen, for certain reasons, that a pres■
sure should be put upon Garibaldi to induce him to
to terminate his visit, and it was resolved in the
first place that a letter as to the state of his health
should bo procured from Dr, Fergusson. When
Messrs. Taylor and Stansfeld called on Mr. Seely,
according to appointment, on Sunday, they were
informed by that gentleman that a change had been
made in the General's plans, and that he would
probably leave England at once, and that
several influential friends of the General were to
meet at Stafford House in the evening, when the
matter would be finally settled. This meeting took
place, when it was decided that those gentlemen
who were supposed to possess the greatest influence
over Garibaldi should obtain a private interview
with him and Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Gladstone
and Mr. Seely were selected. The interview took
place. Mr. Gladstone commenced by saying that
the General's friends thought it desirable, owing to
the state of his health, he should forego his provin.
,11r Gladstone,
cial tour. Garibaldi's reply was, ' a .
I feel very well." Mr. Gladstone then shifted his
ground, and said that, as he (the General) could not
expect to receive so magnificent a reception in the
provinces as he had done in London, the effect of
that reception would be in some measure tarnished.
This argument, however, was of no avail. The
General said, "I shall accept the invitations." -Mr.
Gladstone then again shifted his ground, and said,
if the proposed tour were persevered in it would
lead to unpleasant complications in the GoNern-
meat." The General asked, "Do you wish me to
go away P I will go, then." Mr, Gladstone re.
"The Government is certainlyd •
desirous you
plied,
should leave." The conversation resulted in the
understanding that Garibaldi should terminate his
visit at once, and Mr. Gladstone returned to his
friends, saying, " The General has acted like a sen-
sible man." Lord Shaftesbury again appeared upon
the stage, and went to the General to represent to
bin that everybody out of doors was saying that

:t

,rTii-'-' I
he rag being driven frm i:
England e s
ffiL
presence was unpleasant to her Majesty's °van-
meat, and he begged Garibaldi to say publicly
that he was going entirely on account of his health.
Garibaldi replied in these words—"2ly lord, I
cannot tell a lie." (Immense cheers.) This
was the reply of Garibaldi io Earl Shaftes-
bury. On the following morning au address
wws prepared by Col. Charnba.s, to the autbcrities
of those towns that were to have been visited, in-
forming them that the state of the General's health
would not permit of his fulfilling his programme.
Garibaldi read this address, and struck out with I,is
own hand all statements respecting hi 3 health, and
substituted the words, " fur many reasons I am
prevented visiting you." Himself, Mr. Taylor, and
soniP other of the personal friends of Garibaldi, on
becoming acquainted with what had occurred, held
a m::eting, and Mr. Taylor and himself waited upon
the General by his desire, to ask him whether he
had made up his mind to leave at once. Garibaldi
replied he did not consider the statement of Lord
Palmerston in the House of Commons released him
from the promise ho had made to Mr. Gladstone
and Lord Shaftesbury. He had no hesitation in
saying, despite of Mr. Gladstone's explanation, and
Lord Shaftesbury's letters, that Garibaldi was the
victim of a foul conspiracy. He publicly challenged
Lord Shaftesbury-, Mr. Gladstone, or Mr. Seely, to
deny the truth of what he stated. The fact was
the Government were not prepared for the over-
whelming enthusiasm with which Garibaldi had
been received by the people, and were afraid of the
results if ho went to the provincial towns. (Hear.)
Mr. Shaen's statement made a great impression on
the meeting, and at the conclusion of his speech
three groans were given for the parties he had
accused.

I I'-

Mr. CnEmEn, in seconding the resolution, said
that Garibaldi had in the noblest manner refused
the bribe that had been offered to him by the Stafm
ford House Committee, and had decided that he
would not receive anything from the English people
which he could not make use of as he pleased and
deal with as he thought best. This conduct on the
part of Garibaldi should induce the working men
of England to redouble their exertions on his behalf,
and place in his hands the means of accomplishing
his glorious mission of giving freedom to Italy.
Mr. MASON JONES next addressed the meeting
in support of the resolution, and spoke of the admi-
ration and love which he felt for Garibaldi, and said
that ha hoped the feelings which inspired the great
man would so far influence the people of England
as that they would not consent to the degradation
of being obliged to meet in the English parks
except by the permission of Mr, Cowper or any
other servant of the public. (Cheers.)
The resolution was agreed to.
Mr. IifcHARDsoN reterred to the fact that Gari-
baldi had refused to receive the money proposed to
be raised by the Stafford House Committee, but did
not object to the contributions of the working men.
As evidence of this, he statedthat the fund of which
he was treasurer had already been drawn upon by
the General. He hoped that the working men of
England would_redouble
,their efforts, and provide
Garibaldi with all that was necessary to enable
him to accomplish his glorious mission. England
must, he said, provide not the money, but the arms,
if necessary, for the purpose of completing the
work of giving freedom to Italy. He proposed the
following resolution :—" That this meeting deeply
sympathises with their brethren in the provinces,
who have been thus deprived of the opportunity of
welcoming amongst them the most illustrious visitor
ever honoured England with his presence." He
deeply deplored the disgraceful manoeuvres which
had driven their illustrious visitor away, and fully
sympathised with the disappointment that must
have been felt by the people in the country. He,
however, could promise them, on the authority of
the General himself, that he would again come to
England at a more congenial time, and throw him•
self entirely amongst the people. (Cheers.) The
General, as he knew he would, had refused to
accept the Stafford House Fund, hampered as it
was with certain conditions, but he would gladly
accept the two subscriptions of the people, give❑ to
him unfettered, but to use in any manner he pleased.
Italy was not yet wholly free ; Hungary was look-
ing anxiously for aid, and Poland was gallantly
struggling against her oppressor, These was much
work yet to be done, and Garibaldi was the man to
do it. (Loud cheers.)
Mr.: PETIIERBRIDGE seconded the resolution,
which wes supported by Captain Dresser Rogers,
and carried.

Mr. NIEASS proposed that copies of the above
resolutions be signed by the chairman and by the
secretaries of the committee, and transmitted to
General Garibaldi.

Mr. S. PLIMSOLL seconded the motion, which
was supported by Capt. DONATTI, who had been on
Garibaldi's staff at Aspromonte, and agreed to.

Mr. CUNNINGTON moved a vote of thanks to the
chairman, which was seconded by Mr. WHITLOCK,
and:carried by acclamation.

The CHAIRMAN having suitably acknowledged
the vote, and expressed his delight at ,the orderly
manner in which the meeting had been conducted,
the proceedings terminated with three cheers for
Garibaldi, and one more for Mezzini.

Cantor lectures, called attention to the metal magnetism,
exhibited specimens of wire made from it, and showed the
brilliant light which its combustion affords. This light is
so intense, and possesses to so great a degree the qualities
of sun light, that photograps can readily be taken of objects
illuminated by it. At the conclusion of the lecture several
i i on
theun-
successful photographs were taken in 30 seconds by Mr.
Claudet, of Theed's bust of the Prince Consort in the ante-
room of the society's lecture-hall, the first ever taken in
London by means of this illuminating agent, and they
elicited considerable interest among the audience.
THE PITMEN'S STRIKE.—The long-standing
strike of the pitmen at Seghill Coilery, in the county of
Northumberland, bas been settled upon terms which are
likely to be satisfactory to the owner of the colliery and the
men. The new arrangement is the reduction of a half-
penny per ton is heights of 2 feet n inches, 2 feet 10 inches,
2 feet 9 inches, and 2 feet 8 inches, the workings under the
last-named height being subject to the former prices,
while the intention to reduce the pillar workings has been
entirely abandoned.

Georgian and Circassian women in the East shows
that they have not degenerated. The German type
comprises the Scandinavians, and the low countries
situated on the same alluvial formation ; the Bohe'
mians and Servians offer the strongest Slavonian
type; they inhabit older formations. The other
Slavonians, it is said, are more or less mixed ; but
if the soil b© examined, it will he found that the
geological conditions differ. Hungary, in the
centre of these regions, is of modern formation,
and therefore both men and animals are finer
there. In China, the finest Mongol type is to be
found in the neighbourhood of Pekin, where the
ground is of recent formation ; the ugliest type
exists on the primitive formations where the
sources of the Jenisei are. In Australia tho
aborigines located on recent soil ore finer than
those who inhabit the primitive formations. In
America, taking the zone of the Tropic of Capri.
corn, we find on the elevated and primitive re-
gions of Brazil, the Balacondos, the most bar.
barous race of those parts, while the nations in-
habiting the rich and recent basin of Paraguay
resemble the European type. Hence M. Tremaux's
theory may be simply stated as follows :—That the
differences of type observable in the human race,
are all attributable to the geological state of the
region they inhabit, the most beautiful belonging
to those inhabiting recent instead of primitive for-
mations.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 9, 1864.

Rather than make the confusion they have made
about him, Ministers had much better have left
GARIBALDI alone altogether. 'Tis certainly a very
pretty quarrel as it stands, and we wish them joy
of it! This confusion of tongues (in regard to
GARIBALDI) between the working classes and her
MaJEsTY's Government. There is statement and
there is counter-statement. Each of them as cate-
gorical 08 possible. One says one thing, and the
other says exactly, diametrically the reverse. Hot
and cold, black and white—the discrepancy, here, is
agrant. Which are we to believe?
not one iota less fi
General GARIBALDI or Mr. GLADSTONE ? The
working men generally, on this committee, or the
pious Eni of SnaFTEsBURY• We won't say, of
course, that there is hard swearing upon both sides,
or for that matter upon either side. But, really, if
we are to call things by their right names, there is
something as nearly as possible equivalent to it.
For example—the Way in which the matter is put
forward by the Earl of SHAFTEsBuRy (every one
will remember what we are going to say who has
at all watched this discussion) the emphatic
way in which the matter in dispute is put forward
by the Earl Of SHAFTESBURY is (such a needless
emphasis one would think under the circumstances !)
upon has, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY'S honour as a
gentleman ! A strong way of paying it, cer-
tainly. In fact so strong a way of putting it that
put will be accepted among gentler
tae statement an
men as (what ive have already implied it to be)
equivalent to a statement upon oath. The same
might be said, more or less, in regard to all the
Other statements to the same Effect upon that eame
side, the side, namely, of those extremely solicitous
friends of General GARIBALDI'S, who took more
tender, one might almost say coddling care of Gen.
GARIBALDI'S health, than he was evidently inclined
to take himself. The most they could, any of
them, venture to say about his health,
amounting at the same time, after all,
to this—That General GARIBALDI looked fagged

and that he • was troubled with a boil or two!
Fagged !" Poor fellow !—what a pity they never
&noir to have thought of supplying him with a
vinaigrette ! " Boils !" Well, really one would
have conjectured that, even among old women, a
