November 14, 1864.

SIR, —I have much pleasure in sending the following
letter, just received from Colonel Chambers, the respected
English secretary to General Garibaldi ; it may interest
your readers.—l am sir, yours respectfully,
JOHN Ricu.kunsox,
Treasurer to Garibaldi Yacht Fund
(Copy.)

Caprera, 7th November, 1861

My dear Mr Richardson,—l have much pleasure in
writing, by the General's directions to inform you that he
accepts the yacht gratefully, and himself and the whole of
the household anxiously expect her arrival. I will in-
form you of the arrival of the yacht, and give you all news
that I think may interest you in England. The General is
looking very well and in excellent spirits, busy as usual all
day gardening, but I am sorry to say as lame as ever, still
using his walking stick. His two grandchildren are with
him, and they give him much amusement by their talk and
gambols—the eldest is a remarkably intelligent lad. I find
Mrs Chambers is writing to Mrs Richardson. With kind
regards from the General to you and Mrs Richardson,
believe me, dear Mr Richardson, most sincerely yours,

YORKSHIRE STATUTE FAIRS.—The Martinmas
Statute Fairs for the hiring of farm and domestic
servants commenced at Melton on Saturday last, when some
hundreds of boys and girls presented themselves for hire.
The statutes will not cease till the Monday after Martinmas
at Thirsk. Following the example of the two past years
the clergy of the district again opened the Corn Exchange,
Melton, for the use of the female servants, free of charge,
in order to separate them from the lads and the immorality
of the open market place and the beershops. The success
of the past year was still more so this, every respectable girl
being found in the Exchange, where all comforts were gra-
tuitously provided. Some of the roughest of the sex still
resorted to the open market, and seemed only too happy
among the boisterous coarseness of the lads. It was notes
worthy that both masters and mistresses preferred making
engagements with those who did not " stand the market,"
and the efforts of the society for promoting the respectability
of the female servants may be deemed very satisfactory,
The farm lads attended in great numbers, but it is said that
wages asked were so high that farmers made very few en-
gagements, During the day several well-dressed men—
flash tradesmen—erected their stands in the market. These
fellows reaped a rich harvest by selling to the unsuspecting
lads "gold" watches, lie., at "ruinous prices." One of
there fellows had made a wager that he would give XlO,OOO
away in halfcrowns, but he had to sell some article with
every halfcrown given, About once in every dozen sales he
forced a halfcrown in a purse which sold for 15,land every
time he apparently placed a halfcrown in the purse, but by
dexterity of hand merely dropped in a halfpenny. Another
fellow was engaged by the United Kingdom Alliance to
draw young men from the publichouse and to prevent them
investing their money on the " living skeleton," by selling
them really useful articles (worth 2d) for the small sum of
6d, and so on. At length one powerful farmer's servant
also gave Is for a purse and a halfpenny (expecting he was
receiving half-a-crown), made a rush at the swindler, and
quickly demolished his stock in trade. Scores of dupes fol-
lowed the example, and the result was two of the principal
"philanthropists" took to their heels, takint different direc-
tions, but pursued at foxhunting speed through the streets
by some hundreds of lads, yelling like wild Indians, One
fugitive very soon was minus hat and coat, and was bleed-
ing from more than one wound, but the appearance of Mr
Superintendent Harper caused a check to the pursuers, and
the fugitive bolted down the yard of Messrs;Russell, which
only led to the cover. Unfortunately for him, some of
his pursuers were after the fugitive by another entrance,
and got him into a passage where, but for the interference
of Messrs Russell's men, they would have taken vengeance
by putting him into the river. The crowd dispersed very
unwillingly, most of them loitering about for an hour
egos
more. The other man soon took refuge in an ironmong
shop, where he was let out at the back, bat. he was soon
espied by his tormentors, and had to submit
his to be looked
up in an ashpit for upwards of en hour, until pursuers
dispersed. The party, it appears, had a rendezvous at an
hotel at Norton, whence, after dark, they
de arced one lot
to the Thirsk statutes, and the other to the Dial:held hirings,
to ply their nefarious trade.
A SPIRITUAL JOKE...---A captain of a militia
company, encamped at Camp Hall, discovered n
canteen of whisky in the possession of one of his men, a
night or two ago, and at once confiscated the fluid. He
placed it in his tent, and went out to invite some of his
brother officers to partake of the spiritual comfort. Re-
turning with his shoulder-strap friends, who smacked their
lips in anticipation of the treat, the canteen was reversed
over the tin cups, and the health of the gallant Capt. C----
was proposed. The captain was the first to taste, but he
quickly spurted the fluid from his mouth, and exclaimed,
" By thunder, some one has changed the whisky to water."
There.
was a laugh among the privates, but the captain did
notjoin R.—American paper.

Opening of the Austrian

• ›
Nl7r.

The formal opening of the Rei.
Emperor in person took place to-day ingle Slat s
Hall of Ceremonies of the Hof burg.
The Emperor said—

Honoured members of my Refchsrath,—After arrange-
ments have been made during the former part of the ses-
sion by which the Reiehsrath, in force of its constitutional
right, is enabled to treat subjects of legislalion common to
all my kingdoms and countries, I have convoked that body
for the execution of this purpose, as the collective represen-
tation of my empire. While I now formally open its ses-
sion I greet you, the archdukes and princes of my house,
most honoured and illustrious gentlemen of both Houses of
the Reichra th.
It is my intention, so soon as the termination of your
duties shall have brought this session to a close, to allow
the lesser Reichsrath to come into operation. I also expect
that in the eestern pot tion of my empire the same constitu-
tional activity which has so happily prevaild in -my prin-
cipality of Siebenburgen will ev,ry where begin afresh. To
this object, which I desire shortly to see ichieved, not only
in the interest of those kingdoms, but also of my whole
empire, the chief endeavours cf my Government. are di-
rected. Confidence and real unanimity will conduce to
blessed results.

A series of events, important not only to my family, but
also to the whole empire, has occurred between the close of
the last session and the present day-.
The acceptance of the Mexican Imperial Throne, with
my consent, on the part of my brother, the Archduke Fer-
dinand Maximilian, now Emperor Maximilian I. of Mexico,
has rendered necessary a settlement of the rights of the
agnates thereby brought under consideration.
For this purpose I executed a family compact at Mira-
mar on the 9th of April in the present year, which my Go-
vernment is authorised to communicate to you.

Animated by the earnest endeavour to assist in the pre-
servation and maintenance of general peace, I congratulate
myself upon the good understanding and friendly relations
existing between my Government end the other great
Powers of Europe. I shell not cease to uphold these relit.
tions, and to do everything in order to preserve my empire,
at present occupied with so many important tasks, from
foreign complications.
A subject of disputelor many years in the north of Ger-
many has just been settled in the naost honourable manner:
The representatives-nf my empire • saill partisipate -vitt
truly patriotic feeling in any satisfaction that a close which
contains the fulfilment of the highest expectations has been
put to the war between the German Powers and Denmark
by the Treaty of Peace, signed at Vienna on the 30th of
October, and the ratification of which is expected in a few
days. The courage of the allied troops end the navies of
Austria and Prussia has conquered that splendid prise, and
the wise and just forbearance of the neutral Powers has
facilitated the final understanding. The high value of the
unanimity between myself and my august Federal ally, the
King of Prussia, has again been proved by memorable
results.
But I do not doubt that in the face of the glorious and
happy solution of the question by which Germany has been
excited to her inmost core the entire country will again
find that concord which affords so powerful a guarantee for
her own safety and welfare, as well as for the quiet and
equilibrium of Europe. To my regret, the unfortunate in-
fluence which events in the Kingdom of Polfind have
recently exercised upon the countries bordering my empire
have imposed upon my Government the necessity of
undertaking exceptional measures in those countries for
the preservation of internal quiet and for the protection of
the persons and property of the peaceable population. They
have been accompanied with successful results for the
security of these imperilled interests. I have perceivel
with satisfaction that some of these measures have already
shown themselves capable of being dispensed with, and I
gladly give myself up to the expectation that they may
be entirely withdrawn at no distant period. The finances
of my kingdom will claim your special attention. It was
not possible that the unfavourable conditions which
everywhere govern the European money markets could
be without obstructive influences on the progress of the
politico-economical and financial development of Austria.
In this unmistakably d fficult situation the payment of
the increased demands of the State has yet constantly been.
punctually provided for. The earnest striving to econo-
mise affords satisfactory expectation that when the extrema.
dinary State expenses still at present existing have been
surmounted the disturbance in the finances and in the
equilibrium of the Budget will at last be removed. Two
Budgets will exceptionally be laid before you in the present
Session—viz., that for the year 1865, and immediately after-
wards that for the year W 6. By this transitory measure
it is intended to introduce a settled succession of time in
the Sessions of the Reichsrath and the Provincial Diets, and
also insure the possibility of concluding the labours of the
Budget prior to the commencement of the financial year.
The first financial law constitutionally passed has been
included in the general Budget fur 1862. The last will bo
Lid before you in this session by my Goveri.mel,t. I recom-
mend to your especial attention the bills to be brought in
for the regulation of the 'direct taxation, the speedy operation
of which is to be desired as much in the interest of a more
just and equitable partition of the burden ef taxation as of a
provision better corresponding to the demands of the State
Your attention will also be directed to the consideration
of other financial measures with the of j2ct of improving
existing laws, and the partial, not unimportant, alleviation
of the burdens of the taxpayers. I mention in this cate-
gory a bill to lessen the poll-tax in any principality of
Siebenbui gen.
For several years past the politico-economical unity of
Germany, which is designated in the 19th article of the
Federal Act as the object of the efforts of the Federation,
has taken a more decided shape in later treaties, and one
more in conformity with the requirements of the time.
This question has engaged the full attention of my Go-
vernment.
To bring about a successful solution of this problem,
which is of importance to the Federal Diet, and greatly
concerns the interests of Austria, negotiations have become(
necessary, which aro now being conducted by my Govern-
ment with that earnestness befitting the subject. The result
of these negotiations will be communicated to you by my
Government, and I hope they will not be without favour-
able influence upon the establishment of the new Customs'
tariff which is to come into operation in the course of this
Session.
Recognising the advantages which will accrue to my
empire in every respect by the increase of means of commuss
nication, I have commissioned my Government at once to
direct their uninterrupted and energetic labour to the pre.
paration of a plan for the formation of a network of railways
sufficient for the wants of my kingdoms and principalities.
Conformably to these views, my Government will
before you a series of Bills in reference to the State gubaran-
tee to several new railway undertakings. At tiny rate in the
course of this session, and as soon as possible, a Bill will
be submitted for constitutional consideration, having for its
object the formation of a line to the principality of Tran-
sylvannia and through the interior of that country.
With deep regret I have perceived the heavy pressure to
which trade in my territories, as well as elsewhere, hag
been exposed—yet the advanced position it has already taken
up induces me to hope that, sheltered by the blessings of
peace, its own power and sound legislation, it will again
attain a lasting and satisfactory development.
Several Bills having reference to politico-economical in-,
terests, as well as other matters coming within the province
of the assembled Reichsrath, are being prepared by my Go-
vernment, to be laid before you, and will be brought in,
for discussion in the course of the Session. It is my wish,
for the fulfilment of which your devoted zeal is a guarantee
to see the question to which you aro about to turn your
attention speedily settled, since a series of important and
voluminous bills have been prepared by my Government for
the consideration of the lesser Reichsrath, whose return
depends upon that condition.
Honoured Members of my Reichsrath I
While 1 dismiss you with the assurance of my Imperial
favour and peace to the consideration of the important:
question before you, I am not unaware of their difficulties;
but I have firm confidence that, with your counsel and.
assistance, I shall succeed in conducting the empire in-
trusted to me by Providence with a strong hand towards a
fortunate future. I derive this conidence from the love
and fidelity, from the sagacity and strength, of any subjects,
whom I recommend to the Almighty protection of Heaven,
wishing from any inmost heart that their destinies may
conduce to the happiness and fame of the common father-
and.

COLT'S REVOLVERS.—Since the war began the
Government of the United States has ordered 75,600 of
Colt's new holster pistols for their cavalry, artillery, and
military train. The various Governments of our colonies,
such as those of Natal, the Cape, New South Wales, end
Victoria, have ordered the me weapon for cavalry, artil-
lery, and military train ; and in New Zealand and Otago
the revolver carbines and pistols have been served out to
the local troops engaged in hard work. If cavalry are
to have fire-arms at all, a good heavy Colt is as good a
weapon as they can have, and for artillery and transport
service it is at least a very useful adjunct to ordinary at.
